She has entered various competitions winning the mature student award at the Oireachtais. She mostly works in oil but enjoys water colours,pastels or pencil for sketching in the field.
The sensitivity of painting often mundane still life or moody organic subjects is of great interest to her as is the more traditional scenic and exciting works of land and seascapes,as she has a great fascination with water and light.
