Unlike the "shock for shock's sake" that characterizes too much in the world of art today, De Musée effect is deliberate and purposive. She seeks to reach out through these living creations to that part of each of us that is most instinctive.

To those people who have felt an emptiness, who have been conditioned to lead a "safe" life-- to never commit, never risk and thus, never truly live-- these artworks function both as a mirror and as a primal arousal.
