In her portraits she shows faces of children, women and men of the whole world. She does not paint famous people. Similarities are accidental. These anonymous portraits show a variety of different characters. In her landscape and glacier paintings, the artist focuses attention on the changes in nature, induced by climate change. Fascinated by people and landscapes, she composes images in different series on the themes of people, portraits, landscapes and glacier melt. The artist works with acrylic paints, pigments and various inks. Initial sketches and a concept are created before each painting. But the artist also leaves much to chance in the painting process. These are the uncontrolled gestural brushstrokes, the splashes of paint, drops and running traces in all pictures.
