Oils worked slowly over months: fields of small rings and cells of pure color that the eye assembles. The critic Klaus Kertess described them as "teeming with tiny, obsessively made, evanescent rings congealing into a delicate and fugitive, floreate dew."

“Her oils, worked slowly over many months, exploit stillness and quietude. Sensations of pure color are isolated. Individual cells must be brought together by the viewer's eye into dynamic interaction.”

David Cohen, from his essay on the artist
