She is known for work that is emotive and whimsical with a delicate, yet rich sense of colour and texture. In
recent years she has developed her personal art practice to further explore her connection with the natural
world, in particular her love of dogs and horses, and her interest in anthropology and history, drawing on

prints can be found in private collections around the world.
