She used elements from expressionism mixed with art-deco from the 20s and post-modernism. Typical for young artists that manifested on the 80s, was the non binding application of elements from different eras of the art history. Despite of few reprints, her graphics works was well noticed and is approved as a distinctive element in the art from colors.
