Her most memorable highlight was being reviewed by Sam Hunter, Art Critic and Historian of Modern and Contemporary Art who found her work “refreshingly unique”.

I have created a new concept of the assemblage working with pastels on paper and photography. These dynamic, layered assemblages transport the viewer to my mesmerizing world of color, light, dimension and beauty from a different perspective. I educate the viewer to see the many similarities in nature and immerse them into the sheer magnificence of the natural world. They are the culmination of many carefully executed steps that define my distinctive creative process.
