Whatever the impulse, the result is the fruition of a process, usually grounded in personal discipline that may be spontaneous and rapid or labored and introspective. What transpires ideally captures the inspiration and transforms it into an exuberant explosion or a contemplative and solemn stillness.

My work sometimes poses more questions than answers and offers room for interpretation and new perspectives. It connects to something universal and hence touches a lot of people. "I have more than one visual voice and some find it hard to define or categorize my style." Sometimes her work is conceptual, and often I have the impulse to create something without representing anything. Some of my favorite pieces came about from the act of playing with paint and paper, "I consciously react with the medium, the activity of creating is paramount, and therefore the results happen automatically with the unconscious influence of experiences and emotions."

As more private collectors and businesses continue to support my art, my artistic path reflects an unflinching willingness to experiment. Adventurousness is evident in the wide range of works that compromise my oeuvre.
