She likes to call her work lyrical. It is organic, as it grows through the creative process within from an empty space, the blank sheet or canvas and the first mark. Various experiences flow into this: sensual as well as emotional, mental and what she calls spiritual or soul-experiences. She is inspired by nature's varied forms, patterns, textures, colours and tones; the reflections and changes of light. |
Including graphic elements into her paintings, she forms and shapes the paint
to produce gradual tones and contrasts.
" In the outdoors studying nature, I try to sense and grasp an
underlying 'something' which strikes a chord deep within.
My paintings and drawings flow from this very chord,
resonating through heart and soul."
