Video excerpt from Life Portrait 4.
The human face and portraiture has been a life long interest of the artist. She has recently researched facial expressions of emotion to understand both her own response to her subjects faces and her subjects response to being viewed or photographed.

House of dreams
Self representation and analysis has been a theme of the artist since 2000. House of Dreams , above, is one of an early photographic series from 2000. It depicts the artist gazing up from within a box or room with no doors or windows. The artist is cocooned and enclosed- appearing to be dissolving into a bed of cushions and materials. The artist’s training as a painter are reflected in painterly feel of the textures and the softness of the light.
