Her work is inspired by modern architecture and, in particular, minimalism. She forms each shape out of flat sheet of copper, and fabricates them together. It allows her to explore form that is both representative of architectural elements that she loves and her inner most emotional feelings. The use of color is prevalent in her work for it's symbolic meaning and emotive qualities. She mainly uses power coating and enameling technique to apply colors on the piece, and it will give a very different texture looking. She creates jewellery that is very personal and emotional, and she also believes that there must be connections between the artist and the viewer through the art production.
