In some cases, she completes an oil painting on location (plein air) in one to two sessions. Other paintings, based on this direct observation and experience with the landscape, are done entirely in the studio. She paints primarily in oils and works in a style that distills the California landscape to the elements of horizon, geometry, textures, and iconic images. She also works with the media of encaustic wax painting (painting with pigmented hot wax), and occasionally dabbles with other medias such as acrylic, pastel, mixed media and found objects in order to express a particular idea artistically.
