There is a hyper realism to her work that is rarely used simultaneously
with emotion, a pull, a belief. And yet all of these qualities are undeniably
trademarks of her work. She uses realistic form because of its
beauty – plain and simple. But the work displays visionary, intuitive
symbolism because of the totally dreamlike and magical qualities present
– which leads to the emotional attraction of the work and, for most
people, a deeper meaning. And by the way, isn’t that what we are? –
realistic form with deeper meaning? Our bodies are tangible. Our purpose
and meaning are not – until we manifest them. This body of work
is the manifestation of the meaning and connection she perceives we
all have in life to nature, each other, and to all that is.
