Wakefield's work is a unique blend of abstraction and realism, with a strong emphasis on colour. Her paintings are known for their bold, expressive brushstrokes and vibrant hues, which capture the energy and diversity of New York City.

This painting captures a bustling evening scene in New York City, highlighting the iconic Chrysler Building in the background. The vibrant street is alive with activity, featuring illuminated signs, moving traffic, and pedestrians. A prominent yellow taxi in the foreground and detailed urban architecture enhance the dynamic, energetic atmosphere of the city. The artist's use of bright colours and intricate detail conveys the vibrancy and fast-paced nature of NYC nightlife.

From the towering skyscrapers of Manhattan to the gritty streets of Brooklyn, Wakefield's art reflects the city's many moods and personalities. Whether she is depicting the frenzied pace of Times Square or the quiet beauty of Central Park, Wakefield's paintings are a testament to the enduring allure of New York.
