Research Interests center on the intersection of personal experience with landscape painting, particularly through her ongoing series of moon-themed works. These paintings, developed during the pandemic and her cancer journey, explore universality and changeability in nature. Her practice combines traditional oil and acrylic techniques with experimental approaches to abstraction and framing.
