DJ is a New England artist who style is recognized by her willingness to try many different mediums and painting styles from the old and new world. Her favorite is painting in the style of American and European Tonalist and Illuminist painters of the 19th century.

Her style is distinctive in the way she uses her soft painterly application of muted color harmonies, soft-edged broadly painted tonalities, and atmospheric qualities to disseminate emotion. She uses the technique of glazing (layering of thin layers of pigment) to create the feeling of atmosphere, romance, and spirituality.
