Collecting suggestions and elements from everyday life, everything around her provides inspiration: magazines, old books, web, photos…Cut, paste, and overlay thanks to the computer allows her to create graphic visions; often surrealistic, full of stimulus and coherent to her own graphic taste.
She has a unique talent for realizing personal portraits, unique images obtained with special graphic treatments and paint, like “modern portraits”.
