She describes her approach to art as follows –

“I would describe my style of art as large scale abstract paintings. They are colorful and atmospheric at times, evoking a feeling of wanting to step into the work. I work with squeeze bottles (and other non-traditional tools) and wet paint.  I love the idea of combining intentionality and unpredictability.  It feels very human and reflective of life.  As much as I can go into working on a painting with a plan, that plan will never be.  The paint falls as it likes and travels across the canvas in its own desired path.  I use different forms of leverage for my canvas to influence the shapes and directionality of the paint by propping up one side or another but, again, intentionality is often overruled by spontaneity.  The art becomes as it is meant to be.  Sometimes I am simply a witness.”
