My painting practice is informed by the struggle to find a safe place for identity and community - and the inevitable escapism that follows: through places of virtual and physical refuge, in the glory of the past, and in the realm of fantasy.

I'm particularly concerned with the ambiguous reality of being queer in the age of neoliberalism.

I work in layers, mixing mark-making with cancellation, to recreate the complex placement of queer history within our present.
