Her work displays an accomplished virtuosity as she moves comfortably between the various disciplines of painting, printmaking and sculpture and since 2003 she has focused mainly on subverted feminine tropes and feminist themes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn her most recent solo exhibition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e Bend to Her Will \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003eshe subtly and mischievously reframed the hobbyist art of flower arranging by appropriating the traditionally masculine art of Japanese Ikebana.
