Over time, Chapek's experience with visual art has been varied and eclectic. Formal training is coupled with experimentation. Process versus product has guided her in her outcome. The natural world has always led Chapek to inspiration, the art of looking her vehicle. Elements of design, such as texture, line, form, and color are as important in the artist's work as the subject matter.

Currently Chapek's work is created from a variety of processes. Some pieces are accomplished by combining mono print with colored pencil and collage. Others are a result of using strictly mono print. While using these varied methods, she has been able to adapt design elements as the final work develops. It is a way to free the artist from a conventional style.
