Personal Statement: I feel that visual art is the perfect medium of communication when verbal language has exhausted its potential. Creating thoughts and feelings through a single image is significantly more expressive than a simple text. I am specifically interested in the anatomy of the human body. Through these elegant yet highly complex shapes, I have the ability to express any feeling or thought to the onlooker.

In 2002 she directed a program involving students from several European countries to understand different cultures through painting, photography and film.
