Extensive world travel has influenced her understanding of the outer expression of the inner nature of individuals of many races and ages which she incorporates into her paintings and portraits, depicting the spiritual nature of her subjects as well as their physical attributes. She painted the forty-four images of the Mana Cards to depict the spiritual nature of Hawai'i with the intention of bringing forth the spiritual nature of the viewer as well.
Her paintings have been shown throughout the Hawaiian Islands and beyond. Her published works also include thirty-seven images for the MO: Tibetan Divination System card deck from Snow Lion Publications. She creates portraits and illustrations/images at her home/studio on the remote southern slopes of Haleakala Volcano, Maui, Hawaii.
