About the Artist's Work

Initially, the artist explored a pure positioning of moments in time relating to her past, her childhood and her ancestry. Later these themes developed into more layered investigations that exposed deeper influences. Compositions examine the spiritual connection to ourselves in transition and in stasis. "Situations and Destinations" was the theme of her first solo exhibition and all her work since then can easily be seen as built upon that theme. These layers relate to our locale, be it a personal narrative or a position in time. They relate to the matters that influence us and make us question them as an issue affecting our direction. Do we go forward? Or are we already in the past? Is this a shared experience or is it one I experience alone?

Her natural and unique talent lends itself well to the medium she chooses. Mostly working in acrylics, her pieces sometime display small found items from nature and daily life that belong to that moment, shedding light on the multi-layered theme. Most recently, she has developed a love for watercolors and the challenge that it hands her, allowing her to pursue new avenues of expression, as another layer of her working process.

While most of her work is typically along this personal exploration, she is often in demand in the private and public sector, lending her talents to create commissioned pieces, from conceptual fine art to commercial design.
