She started to paint on board and canvas and use different media in her early teens. In her twenties she dedicated her whole interest to painting, using mostly oil and oil pastels. She deliberately chose to paint the studies of masters and this is how she learned about figure, composition and technique. She focused on Klimt, Picasso, Degas and Modigliani. She learned more about the art's field structure, the deliberate use of color and the shape by studying the art of Kandinsky. Through the discipline and hard work she gradually gained the knowledge and the ability to search for her own expressions and motives from the environment developing her artistic definition.
