Her most recent work is a continuing thread begun wither her contemporary vanitas paintings.
The binary oppositions used in her paintings address the values of our culture as well as abstract concepts of time and space. The meticulous glazing technique employed gives the paintings a vivid sense of realism. Lately she has been combining illusionist techniques with the flattening of the picture plane. She has become increasingly interested in using pattern as a formal element.
