The consistent note throughout her work is joyfulness and sensual pleasure. Since the early 1970’s, her work has been the focus of numerous solo and group exhibitions in galleries, art museums and universities, private and corporate collections, United States Embassies around the world and currently in the official residence of Vice President Joe Biden in Washington, DC.
