Her oil paintings are meticulously crafted with fine brushes and delicate strokes, layering colours to achieve a distinctive tonal variation. This method highlights the unique interplay of shapes and colours, accentuating their intrinsic qualities.
The composition's simplicity shifts focus from superfluous elements to the inherent beauty of the subject, as perceived from its viewpoint.
Capturing the fleeting essence of time and place, these paintings draw inspiration from their subjects without striving for exact representation. The subtle blending of prominent and understated imagery lends a dreamlike quality to the pieces.

She is currently working on a new collection inspired by the exhilarating experience of wild swimming.
This collection continues her recognizable style and is available as both original works and giclee prints.
