Her paintings are based on acrylics. On the canvasses (80x120 cm)which she combines to larger dimension which reach 160x240 cm she often uses mixed media like ashes sand or plaster.

The non-figurative works summon the memory of shapes signs and lines. Themes are e.g. the colors of Africa, light and shadows in Tuscany or impressive rocks on the island of Cavallo. Memories of her travel itinerary.

Working on sculpture with various materials inspired her paintings. She works with the foundry Perseo in Mendrisio, Switzerland where she realizes bronzes. In 2014 she joined Sculpture Network as a member.
