Her paintings have been described by Patrick Kinmonth as “grow[ing] like plants flowering, or landscapes excavated over time from remembered, indistinct horizons. Affirmations beyond their limits are deduced from familiar rooms or the arrangement of a few domestic objects: a bowl, fruit, branches, buds. Her work takes us into a profound contemplation of the world she seeks to know and the method she has mastered. Going ever deeper into the nature of paint, where accident, evidence and respect are allowed full sway”. (2011)

Her paintings are a delicate suspension of temporal and spatial impositions, within which her subject matter holds equal sway with her treatment of paint, whose application seems almost accidental but has a quiet deliberation and gentle luminosity.
