"She prefers a skewed pastel palette...Her thick and intense layering of color balances spontaneity with struggle, intense form with loose improvisation, and childlike imagery with loaded psychological implications. The characters that populate her work may appear naïve on first sight, but they bear a concentrated psychological intensity that counterbalances the powerful abstract fields surrounding them."
