She has shown her work in 63 individual and group exhibitions and projects. Her work takes one away from the ephemeral and into the eternal, with a faint trace of the absurdity we call real life. The spaces she shows are where we all meet in our dreams – the realm that transcends borders and language. In this refuge, we have the chance to think and feel in peace, to be at once together and alone.
