     Finally, from 1995 to the present, she has focused most of her energies on a series of paintings and sculptures that are designed to engage the viewer in a self-reflection process from a secular, political, and spiritual perspective. Her seascapes represent the artist’s reflection on her personal experience with the forces of nature.
