Abstract and multi-layered, my paintings explore subjects that might be usually be considered inconsequential, unattractive or even disturbing. Through a process of deconstruction, I seek aesthetic satisfaction in unexpected places – and my discoveries are the focus of my work. The finished paintings are often appealing at first sight, yet they retain hints and traces of their origins, inviting close inspection. I hope to beguile, intrigue and provoke the viewer, taking them back through my creative process so they too can find fascination in things they might otherwise ignore.
