Greatly influenced by frescos and medieval art, she has developed her own unique medium using simple raw materials: natural pigments, plasters, wax and gold leaf, and more recently lime, which gives the colours an intensity and richness unachievable with conventional paints.

Taking the subjects she has painted outdoors she further simplifies them, incorporating the incidental effects of her techniques, so that some are almost a bas-relief of colour and texture. Strongly believing that good draftsmanship is essential, she has always done life drawing. By combining ancient methods with modern subject matter she creates a link between past and present - a kind of timelessness, both ancient relic and modern icon. 
In 2001 her picture was selected by Sir Roy Strong for The Discerning Eye Exhibition at The Mall Galleries and in 2003 she was made a member of the Oxford Art Society.
She runs workshops at the Ashmolean, Oxford, the Botantical Gardens and other museums, schools and galleries during the year.
