Drawings are dear to her because they are constructed of lines. They simplify expression. She wants her art to be easily approachable, even overtly beautiful. That is why she uses familiar visual language with elements reminiscent of fairy tales.
She worked as a graphic designer in international companies for years.
That added halftone screen to her art, which means the pictures are constructed in a more complicated manner. The coarser the halftone, the more symbolic is the picture.
She has worked to get her own voice in her graphics by mixture photo etchings and intaglio. She starts working with her photo, then draws to simplify the picture. Prints are often enlarged either digitally or by projection. In this manner, the halftone becomes as large as possible.
Her aim is to make such a large work of art that the dots are the size of beach balls. When her work is projected with light, viewers can enter them. Her goal is to make emotionally captivating works of art.
