Her artistic endeavor stretches across various mediums: graphite, dry brush watercolor, pen and ink, stitching, and collage. Her latest solo show has been exhibited in the Abingdon Museum of Art (VA) and Reece Museum (TN) and approached a botanical identitary dialogue between the Appalachians and the Carpathians.
