Merging the figurative with the abstract, Flynn's paintings bloom with curling cloudy nebulae of colour, from which emerge the pale figures of immortals and angels, birds and mythical creatures. As TJ McNamara notes, the lush, brilliant forms, ecstatic yet graceful, are suggestive of vivid emotional states, filling the paintings with "the curving, tumultuous exbuerance of a rococo heaven". For Flynn, they represent an exploration of the notion of desire, which for her resists comprehension through traditional forms of knowledge but is "everywhere linked to the practice of painting."
