When asked about her work:
The core of my work is a belief that art and community can
transcend traditional categorizations and encompass a wide range
of artistic practices. I believe that the boundaries between art
forms are fluid. Artists can draw inspiration from and
collaborate across multiple disciplines to influence and enrich
each other’s creative process and practice.

When asked about her work:
“I equate my work with creating and building an
environment, transforming my inner thoughts into
reality. Beginning with the physical process, I
combine abstract and realism. I am involved in
solving visual and verbal complexities such as
design and narrative. My urban influence has
indeed added an ‘edge’ to my work.”
