My more recent work deals with the emotions of mystery and curiosity in response to surroundings, both for me as a person and for the people who experience my work. I have been interested in the emotional effect of the surroundings and the changing environment on the human condition through position, light, colour and space.

I have continuously tried to break boundaries by seeking to entertain and engage with the public to give them a sense of emotion and excitement through my particular visual expression. I want to create opportunities for the public to interact with my work as this continues a strong theme of post-modern culture. To date I have produced works which have successfully created strong emotive responses with landscape, figure and portrait, as well as some installations. My development is ongoing and as an artist I am very much a work in progress.
