The artist has been using different techniques in her work since the 1970s: wax sculptures, wax reliefs and wax collages were created from a specially developed wax mixture. Cars and clothes were also covered with a layer of wax. There are series of sketches and drawings in exercise books and books, on acid-free paper and Chinese rice paper. Between 1997 and 1999 she was given the opportunity to work on green serpentine in the municipality of Bernstein in Burgenland . Since 2000 she has devoted herself primarily to acrylic painting: The subjects of the pictures emerged from current observations, personal points of contact and closeness to nature.
