She is drawn to celestial events and their interpretation in ancient cultures, along with mysterious and medieval texts such as herbals and illuminated manuscripts.

She has a keen interest in traditional crafts and the applied arts such as tapestry and historical costume embroidery. These influences underpin her image making and use of pattern and detail in her linocuts.
