She works across the mediums of print making, painting, installation and film.

She was a key figure in the British Black Arts movement in the 1980s, and since then has remained rooted in her understanding of the diverse nature of culture. Shaped by her upbringing, she has continually broken stereotypes emancipating the image of women through her works.
