Through her poetry, drawings and watercolors, she draws on the power of fairy tales, illuminated manuscripts, medieval religious art and literature – forms that bring to life the magic of concept and high ideals, reaching deep into our souls and igniting human imagination. Working with themes concerning the natural course of life with its uncertainty, its unsettling and temperate beauty and vulnerability, she works with pieces of things that once had life – flowers, cotton, bones, butterflies... framing them in new structures.
