She says of her work:
'I have an innate grasp of perspective and tend to think in two-dimension when designing my work, always drawing my idea first. This tendency to perceive in two dimensions, which I applied to the three dimensional form, has led to exploration in perceptions of perspective and experiments of illusion. I make my pots as if working in a two dimensional plane, using monocular vision to enhance the effect.

Whilst making and decorating I am drawing in the air with clay, then painting a picture of a pot. Consequently the piece has one ideal point of view. The use of light and dark, pattern and colour has been applied to slab, coiled, cast or thrown and flattened vessels. I use white clays as my 'canvas' to draw and paint on, furthering the illusion of roundness.

Currently I am focusing on the pottery depicted in still-life paintings. In 'still-life' pieces I have brought the vessel out from the two dimensional plane and made it three dimensional again. This brings with it a degree of distortion, the illusion of depth applied to flattened form.
It is a three dimensional painting of a vessel.
