This is one of my favourite contemporary artists that I have looked at, I especially love her use of colour and the isolated bits of pattern in her paintings. They all seem to be very free and flowing which is  refreshing after looking at so much minimal, geometric contemporary art.
The blocks of isolated patterns that I mentioned are never forced and she doesn't seem to be strict with herself, she just paints these little blocks that end up forming very beautiful patterns but that is just one part of a much larger piece and I really want to do that with my work, have little sections and make each section as interesting as the next to form an overall flowing piece.
