She plays on the inherent tension between liquidity and solidity in paint, layering watery veils of pigment in complex tones. Her work is represented in major collections such as the National Gallery of Australia, National Gallery of Victoria and the Parliament House Art Collection, and also became a finalist in the Fleurieu Art Prize 2011 and the Fleurieu Water Prize 2011.
