She enjoys plein air watercolor painting and using pen/ink and watercolor to make travel sketches. Her painting style tends toward impressionism, with her work exhibiting both energy and warmth. She often uses minimalist techniques to suggest depth and detail through subtle color changes and controlled lines.
