While brilliant hues and luminosity are what visually define the artist’s work, their conceptual underpinning is to seek out the interstitial space between reality and the imagination. Both representational abstractions and abstract representations, her paintings often exude a powerful sense of energy and motion and read as blurred camera stills that have recorded an intangible moment of in-betweenness, where what is felt and seen are simultaneously present. She experiments with a loss of control in her gestures, alternatively reining in the brushstrokes and letting them run untamed.
