While favoring landscapes, seascapes and historical landmarks, she also enjoys private commission work. She excels when it comes the objective is to transform people’s mental images into visual reality. Since moving to Vegas she has developed a real passion for the beauty found in the local deserts of Nevada, a subject matter that is very new and different from her previous pieces.
