Her metaphoric style echoes imagery found in Mexican folklore such as the Day of the Dead. In the eighties she was involved in the emerging Melbourne underground graffiti and street art scene which she notes as having a huge influence on her art. Her distinctive free-hand drawing features rich decorative line, beautiful flowing patterns and gentle yet bold imagery reminiscent of her favorite childhood character Miffy.?She is represented by The Jacky Winter Group which comprises of contemporary Australian illustrators.
