“I have always been drawn to the female figure in my work,” she has said, “ and I hope to recreate the beauty and integrity of a simple, everyday intimacy. I am fascinated with trying to capture the different emotions that are present in solitude, when we're more able to be at one with ourselves. I hope to portray my subject as vulnerable but also with strength."
