Her career has been develop ing under
the
combin
ed influences
of her professional experiences as
a designer/illustrator and her thoughtful
progress as an independ ent
artist. Her work as a designer and
illustrator is informed by graphical
wit, and most
aspects of her work tend toward a playf ul
minimalism. Her work as an
artist is
figurative and questions of light and
shadow are ever-present.
When she paints interiors and still
life, what she paints are inscapes
and still lights.
