She served as Director of Education and Learning for Arts Council England. She has exhibited through the United States and abroad, and her photographs are in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Delaware Art Museum, and the State Museum of Pennsylvania in addition to numerous corporate collections.
