She uses treatments similar to those used by the old European masters, such as glazing, layering, sanding and scratching the painting surface, which blend and soften the appearance, and bring out small details. She combines this approach with modern graphic design methods to bear upon these traditions to produce a more contemporary effect. Beautiful and tragic, the ghostly subjects of her portraits, drawn from her imagination, are memorials to girls and young women whose unique qualities evoke an intimate connection between them and the viewer.A self-taught painter, she is a graduate of Emily Carr College of Art and Design and BCIT, who worked 11 years for Network Records doing graphic design, video, motion graphics, and creating award winning CD covers for such bands as Delerium, the Hermit, and State of Grace, before starting her own design company - Dope Design. She lives in Vancouver, Canada.
