The painter's appreciation for this form of art is expressed in her own words:
The surface of my art are living, breathing human beings, making them a relevant and immediate medium. I use hypoallergenic non-toxic paints, applied with brush, broom, and airbrush. The works are ephemeral, like the sand paintings of the Tibetans, beginning to transform as soon as I stop painting, changing their texture and color...Artist Information
