They lack detailed hands and faces, so that they
embody universality. She is able to convey emotion

purely though gesture and pose. In her Paintings, she
paints with rich pigments, or creates textural fresco
tempera using natural ground pigments bonded
with archival substrates. Her pieces engage the
viewer both physically and emotionally. She utilizes

a combination of ancient and modern elements, so
that she may convey the language of inner emotion
through visible forms. The themes in both her

Paintings and sculptures her works are inspired by
Christian, Greek and Nordic mythology, Paleolithic
cave paintings, physics, the classical elements, and
the human form. Several of her pieces are inspired
by the phenomena in general relativity known as

“Event Horizons”. An event horizon is a space-time
boundary beyond which the laws of physics as we
know them, cease to exist. It is her hope that her

works speak to the soul and entice the viewer to
see beyond the mere physicality of a piece, to a level
of deeper personal understanding and emotional
meaning. Her work can be seen Permanently in
the Jamali NYC Gallery, located in SoHo, New York.
