My works use the setting of domestic interiors to build a structure that contains the narratives of human relationships and imagery that occupies space between reality and surreality, memory and imagination. The viewer is invited in to my private world and is surrounded by these narratives in rooms and through objects that relate to personal stories, myths, family tales and gossip.

People, vases, chairs and mirrors appear Talisman like and are elevated to new significance as if rendering them in the picture plain gives them a permanence that the fallibility of memory cannot hold.
