Here is a statement about her work- My works lie in a dream world made up of sources from my memories, my everyday environment and my emotions. Desire is a key theme in my work and I use painting to explore surreal situations that we might find ourselves in when seeking out our desires. These situations are tender, brutal, humorous and melancholic. It is this balance of dichotomies that make up who we are. Happiness seems to go hand in hand with a shadow of destruction. The objects in my work are charged with an active symbolist quality that comes from the memories they hold and their own potential consciousness. The figures in my paintings reflect on the chaotic shifting of emotional states as we move through life. The characters are sweetly naïve and desperately curious. They hold tight to a world that shakes and spins; where grenade-like hearts and leaden roses jolt to the ground.
