One of her pieces was recently on display outside the offices of The Times in London and two of her works are soon to be installed at the prestigious Yorkshire Sculpture Park, in northern England She also makes photographs and paintings. Her art is characterised by her bold use of colour and materials, including mosaic, glass, bronze and feathers, and by the lyrical and spiritual qualities of her artistic language, which seeks to make light what is dense and give weight to what is insubstantial.
