Her watercolors are of a dancey nature, as she calls it. , The undulating quality of a work such as Magnolias and the translucence of On the Beach are reminiscent of the fluidity of a modern ballet. Also, her landshow a prescapes and cision found in choreography. Her bold colors are those associated with a pastoral classical ballet.
