My recent paintings are small (7” x 5”) oil paintings on board. I have been referencing interior physical and psychological spaces and Englishness with wallpaper-like patterned areas. I aimed to make pattern alive, like fever dreams on walls. 

Thoughts rather than visual representations emerge in the paint; they are emotional maps and describe internal white noise chatter. I am interested in things that seem micro and macro, and I like to make the paintings concentrated with their very small scale.  Their titles are 'I didn’t realise I wouldn’t see you again', 'Eeyore', and 'Hair'. 

In general, I like to explore the unsaid and the unseen in the familiar. I paint forms which are seemingly recognisable, but which are uncertain. Underneath most of my current work there is at least one other figurative painting, hidden work that has been wallpapered over in paint.

My plans include participating in exhibitions and developing my painting practice.
