She has consistently explored the visual collaboration of repetition and correspondence as it is implicitly found in natural environments and human architecture. One of her famous exhibitions, aptly titled 'The Visible and the Invisible', swiftly summarises the approach she adopts in her paintings. She sees an unspoken sense of relatedness, continuously at play between the individual mind, and the archetypes which define nature as artful constructions.
