Through a painting process that alternates between calculated meticulousness and intuitive meditation, she creates spaces where self-sustaining ecosystems thrive. These are evolving systems where energetic and visual information emanates from a mysterious divine source. The information is transformed and transmuted through processes that reflect her own personal alchemy. She has created her own set of symbols and forms which are constantly evolving at a pace similar to that of a flower blooming or a seed sprouting. She explores how a painting can be a parallel world, a meditation, a calculation, a living organism, a system of networks, storage for information, a tool for posing questions and seeking answers, and a time traveler.
