    • Absolutely agree. When I saw her previous work for the first time, that was my impression also. It’s a niche she’s currently occupying solo, and doing so well with.

    • Yes, absolutely amazing, especially as she continues to perfect it. She uses a bag with a serrated tip to extrude the paint, which she weaves over itself as she paints.
