Her work explores the human figure and the painted surface. The act of painting is an emotional and physical process for her whereby paint is layered on over a period of time, then scraped back and added to again to create a ‘working surface’ from which a figure begins to emerge. The paint is applied with brushes, palette knives and rags, as though she is trying to uncover or excavate something. She often scratches or scores marks, words, phrases and even mathematical equations into her canvases.
