Full of energy, light, texture, physicality and movement drawing you in, creating a window to new unexplored terrains. Her confidence with Neon colours shows in the unusual colour pallet she uses. She often layers and scrapes back the paint and as it speaks to her and can be working on more than one canvas at a time. Her physical theatre background can be seen in the movement created in her work and she finds experimenting in physicality whilst painting can capture that essence of movement and energy on to the canvas.

Light, energy, colour and texture are clear in her paintings, Other themes she explores are searching for new terrain or other worldly places. She is intrigued by the colours of galaxies in space and underwater worlds glistening in the sunlight.
