She has exhibited work internationally and is published in limited edition journals. She served as Assistant Director and Director of Community Programs at the Center for Book and Paper Arts, at Columbia College Chicago. Her latest work with organic material binds nature and the material world into disparate, yet symbiotic relationships. Her work is playful, quirky, whimsical and curious or abruptly turns into a vexing, literal statement—provoking introspection and contemplation. She serves as art editor for the international literary and arts journal, Burningword.
