Her paintings and sculptures are in many public and private collections, notably in England, the USA, France, Germany,Spain, South Africa and Japan. Architecture, particularly Romanesque architecture, is a great influence on her work, and she writes: 'All my work is principally a process of evolution, beginning with drawings made in situ in which I attempt to understand the structure and content of a subject, and developing into forms of two or three dimensions which are increasingly abstract in nature. Underlying all these forms is astrongly geometric structure of arcs, circles and ellipses drawnthrough the space in an attempt to reflect the infinite possibilities of form, light and colour.'
