She is a figurative painter, currently working in the Magical Realist style but some of her works are closer to Surrealism, her subjects are mostly women and recently most of her works are in the form of self-portraits. She has been known for her works in watercolors and pencil, but her recent works are produced in acrylic on canvas. Apart from painting, she has also been active as a performer.
