Her palette is bold and lively, and she pursues a variety of subjects from perfectly composed still lifes to dramatic landscapes. Her work invites the viewer to share an inner world as she explores her identity through the roles of artist, teacher, wife and mother. The paintings are examples of her sense of adventure and a glimpse into her imagination, along with of her seemingly effortless painting style.
