The artist is concerned with the interaction of colour[9] and can be situated in the tradition of colour field painting.[10] She paints using highly diluted acrylic paints on wooden panels (panel paintings) and since 2018 on canvas. Since 1999, she also creates large format colour field compositions directly on interior walls. Her mural paintings focus in particular on the spatial effect of the colours thereby the colour fields create a deep dialogue with the architecture and de-materialise the space.[11]
