Regarding her art work:
“I love light and the play of light and the way light manifests itself as color. The media that I use to create my works are an eclectic mix. In addition to traditional oils and acrylics, I also use metallic inks and paints, gels and nail polish. Additionally, I sometimes use pastels and other similar media to mute the light reactive effect in certain areas. To this I often add metallic foils, glitter, bits of plastic and glass, or any other medium I come across that achieves the effect I am looking for in that particular piece.”
