Her autodidactic practice explores many artistic aspects, particularly the fundamentals of space, shape, and colour, using various media, including oils, watercolour, ink, printmaking, collage, and acrylics.
As an artistic photographer, she has a special interest in macro, digital manipulation, colour manipulation, and the creation of inspirational quotation photography.
Her abstract and other contemporary subjects are influenced by the patterns and colours found in nature, the ocean, the human face, lyrics and poetry.
Often hidden symbolism, hearts, numbers, spirals, and faces appear in her work.
Sometimes intentional, sometimes not.
Contemporary seascapes have featured prominently in her body of work, and it is these that she is most known for.
Painted in oil or acrylic, they are birds-eye, abstract or viewed in a contemporary manner of being within the water looking back to the swell of the waves and horizon.
She creates passionate water images that capture movement and beauty using combinations of colour, patterns, sand, rock, light, shadow and sky.
She says, "My oceanscapes encapsulate the many layers and beauty found within the ocean's water. The techniques I use in oils create a multi-dimensional perspective for the viewer that offers a contemporary insight into the movement, power, liquidity and colour of our beloved oceans".
Emotions, energy and spirituality are the catalysts for all my paintwork and photography.
There is very little desire for perfection or realism. Aiming for an extension of thought via the placement of an infusion of strength, hope and courage into what I create.
