In addition to human figures, his work frequently depicts animals – the other great love of his life. But whatever the subject, the main characteristic of his work is the richness of its layers of color. The artist believes that color should speak, seem to move, and have a life of its own, independent of the subject depicted, while still being connected to it.

She is particularly drawn to the effect of light on colors and strives to capture a sense of shadow and light, a feeling of the time of day or season, and to evoke the atmosphere that colors can create. She loves the subtleties and nuances she can achieve with brushstrokes and drops of paint. She generally works from a combination of life experiences, memories, and photographs she has taken herself.
