These travels and her inspiration from the different cultures and their histories comprise one of the greatest influences on her work. She started to express a love of drawing and painting when she was a child. Her artworks encompass these influences into a unique mixture of intricate juxtaposition of detailed and abstract architectural paintings, incorporating fine linear drawing, and an array of vibrant colours, derived and interpreted from landscapes, and the terrain of the various countries the artist visits, primarily painting with gouache and china ink on paper, which result in exquisite, sensitive, enriching and emotive works, was recognized, and encouraged by established artists and critics to pursue her art.
