她的作品的演奏和编曲皆由自己完成，演奏乐器有小提琴、钢琴、里拉琴、吉他和几种鼓。如果她翻奏的作品没有歌词，她就在注意曲调的色彩和氛围的同时，自己创作。她使用的设备包括一个简单的麦克风、一个小房间（作为"消声室）和 Sony Acid的音乐制作软件。她并未接受过任何声乐训练。2017年左右患病失声，部分声音功能永久性丧失，暂停音乐活动，最近复出，开始以《爱丽丝梦游仙境》为主题的创作。复出后仍然能以残存的音域演唱，但是声线发生改变……

我正在想欧洲野牛和天使；

在想持久的颜料的秘密；

预言家的十四行诗，艺术的避难所；

而这是你与我能共享的唯一的永恒。

我的洛丽塔。

A young man walked through the forest

with his quiver and hunting bow

He heard a young girl singing

and followed the sound below

There he found the maiden

who lives in the willow

He called to her as she listened

from a ring of toadstools red

She looked at him serenely

and only shook her head.

'See me now, a ray of light in the moondance

See me now, I cannot leave this place

Hear me now, a strain of song in the forest

Don't ask me, to follow where you lead'

渐行渐远渐无书

发生在森林里的《绿野仙踪》，凄美的故事，动人的歌词……

渐行渐远渐无书

最后一图有油画感。颜料的秘密，目中所见；声音的秘密，耳中之声……

闭上眼，看到丰富的色彩，和声音的质感。。。有一条路，悠长悠长，通向心之秘境

渐行渐远渐无书

预言家的十四行诗，艺术的避难所……

渐行渐远渐无书

梅花之左，秋水之右
若相见，依稀还是  旧时模样

暮光倾城里，等一场，倾心的雪落
泪水与诗行，哪个更靠近月光

哪怕红着眼
问安好，我也只说
无恙
