My work captures the ineffability of childhood, delight in the fantastic ordinary, awakening in the viewer flickers of recollection that float like dust on a shaft of light. I am perpetually fascinated by movement-the perambulatory, dancing body, birds on the verge of flight, the transfer of light as it traverses and reflects varying surfaces-and images evoking this movement repeatedly emerge in my work.

Fine lines-scratches layered over contrasting chunky brushstrokes, daubs of light-unearth figures, suggestions of life in the dappled world of the painting.
