She encourage curiosity with her abstract works, which are inspired by a range of mediums from collage to cutouts, vintage palettes to digital illustration, all evident in her large-scale pieces.

Her London gallery describes her work as a deftly interwoven combination of figurative painting, abstract expressionism, geometric abstraction, “and even conventions of the painted still-life into one poetic statement.”
