Her work has been divided into two stages. In the first, her work is marked by strong patriotism for Mexico. The second is more mystical and rebellious. Her mystical bent has been seen in individual shows such as "La piel de dios", "De los jardines amantes", "Secreto de piedra," "Piel adentro" "In lak´ ech a lak" and "Talismanes". In a number of works, the human body is obscured in darkness, thick texture and color, seen in Homenaje a Elizabeth Catlet, Lamento de un blues azul and Aún en las noches más largas. She has also created works related to tragedy, such as the Mexico City earthquake of 1985 and an explosion at San Juanico, along with depictions of children with cancer and disabilities.
