She has shown her work in over 15 states from coast to coast and around the globe including Japan, Korea, Spain and the US.

She is a member of the Art Students League of New York, was the Director for Sculptor Group in the American Division of the International Sculpture Symposium, South Korea, is a member of the Montclair Professional Visual Arts Organization and is a member of Allied Artists of America. “Serious artists are constantly reinventing themselves, as they strive to achieve an illusive vision of ‘great art’. Often, world and national events impose an emotional response on the artist, who is otherwise powerless to influence such events. The canvas can become the artist’s vehicle of expression. I am an artist in transition. In the past, I have attempted to faithfully record my subject, with an emotional response limited only to that subject. In portraiture, for example, the challenge has been to produce a work that reflects my response to the personality of the sitter. But I can no longer ignore the effect that outside events are having on me. I am now attempting to do paintings that convey my emotional response to such events. It is not always easy to move away from that which you are conformable with to explore a new area. But in life, one needs to progress and let go of the past, in order to achieve something greater. I hope I am worthy of this new challenge.” For more information about the art or the artist, please contact: BOI's of New Hope Art Gallery 9 W.
