'Art that arises out of the inner landscape, and is connected to our lived experience, illuminates the darkness and heals the soul' - Daria Halprin

Her work explores the nebulous subject of the interior life. Her practice, rooted in the contemplative path and the study of the mystics, explores her own inner landscape; a fractal of the human experience.

She uses painting as a medium through which to make the invisible, visible. Colour, mark, texture, line and form give expression to ideas, paradoxes and concepts where language fails. Through abstraction, disorder gives way to order and invites new perceptions and insights. By surrendering to the creative process, she allows herself to be used as a conduit guided by the work. This intuitive approach enables her to circumvent the intellect in order to access her true self. Her work, like a mirror, reflects its inward journey back to the self, coaxing the viewer on their own journey towards the center.
