She offers about her practice: 
As a contemporary artist I am seeking to unite new approaches with historical techniques. Recently I have been experimenting with the idea of “multiplicity” and the integration of Classical Chinese painting elements. In my most recent work I have been working with the notion that a line can not only have a beginning, a middle and an end, but a “before” and “after” as well. So, the lines that form mountains can also form mice while mountains shift in and out of geometric abstractions.
