Her words:

As a little girl I grew up admiring Bateman and dreamed of capturing the finite details that make his paintings come alive. I am passionate about the subjects that I choose to portray in my art. I find it difficult to invest great deals of time and energy into a composition that has little meaning for me, and so, I choose to draw inspiration and likeness from my own photography. For me, painting is like listening to music. A song will often evoke a memory or a feeling, and I find that I base my choice in subject matter on my feelings and memories.
