She exhibited extensively at community galleries in Illinois for 20 years, before moving to Chapel Hill in 2008.
Her work on paper is influenced by Asian art and philosophy in addition to contemporary abstract and conceptual movements.

The series is a reflection on the pandemic and the ephemeral nature of all living things.
