My primary interest lies in the processes of painting; my love for the materials, their techniques and the resulting surfaces. I find inspiration in the colour, texture and malleability of paint, and my paintings incorporate my interest in the seductive nature of surface. I use a range of tools from syringes to piping bags to exploit the behaviour of paint and explore the relationships it creates.

My recent work has made more of a reference to pleasure and appetite. I aim to construct images that elicit pleasure through allure and humour. I utilise elements of the ephemeral, the commercial, the frivolous and the childlike to produce objects that highlight contemporary preoccupations with pleasure and our enthrallment with appetite.
