Representative emotive subjectivities similar to that of a conversation with a friend, a witnessed happening, or a sighting on a walk or bike ride attest in making her work autobiographical. Forms and gestures found in the paintings reference spaces from flora to urban structures and domestic objects. Rich colour and monochromatic hues are exalted, guiding the viewer through the numerous spaces within the paintings.
