In portraiture, she strives to achieve the physical likeness of her sitters, and create an atmosphere through the use of colour, shape and texture. She tries in each portrait to discover something of the character of the subject. In her nude studies, she uses the gestural, abstract properties of paint, colour and line to suggest movement, mood and emotional expression. Recent developements in her work have created a more geometric feel to her figure paintings with the use of many small triangular plains to describe form.
