Her recent work "Fe-Male" is essentially a series of figurative paintings of women of all ages. She celebrates the idea of the feminine, adorned or unadorned. She brilliantly captures the vulnerable inner essence of her subjects and portrays them with dignity, strength of character, allure and presence.
