My paintings are increasingly becoming part of private, corporate, and hotel collections. They have been featured in numerous movie and television sets such as “Friends,” “Will & Grace,” “Alias,” and “Mission Impossible.” A segment of the television program “ReDesign” focused on my work. I have been invited by the Art in Embassies program to lend my work, and am a member of the National Association of Women Artists in New York City.
