I saw her retrospective at Matsumoto a couple of years back. I love her work!

Not a fan, but obviously a lot of people are. I do believe she puts her heart and soul into her work, though, and maybe that's what her fans see.

at least they are colourful...something needed in these days of gloom and doom...I believe I have seen one of her pieces at Chatsworth House...in Derbyshire in the U.K.

Heavily influenced by Frank Woodring.

Make no mistake, this woman's work is deeply symbolic and highly layered - she is an outstanding artist.
The childlike abstraction and simplification of organic forms combine a playful sense of the naive with a deeper, slightly unsettling sense that the world is not quite what it appears to be, or 'should' be. She combines colour, form, scale to gently screw with your sense of perception.
It's very, very cool.

not a fan and this is utterly not applicable "She combines colour, form, scale to gently screw with your sense of perception" ...

A few years back I went to her home town (at the time I didn't know she came from there) and visited the art museum. They had a section on her work. Came away seeing spots for a whole week.
