Her serigraph “Poor Butterfly” was exhibited at the Brooklyn Museum’s 13th Biennial National Print Exhibition in 1962.

After obtaining a B.A. from Southern Cal, an M.A. from Kansas State, and studying with de Kooning and Albers at Black Mountain College, she became a Fullbright Scholar destined for Vienna who later settled in Madrid.
She was the first North American to exhibit at the prestigious Ateneo Cultural Center in Madrid and has since shown her work steadily in Madrid, Seville, Granada, Barcelona, Burgos and other Spanish and European cities, as well as in the U.S. Among influences, she names Klee, Rauschenberg, Twombly and Kitaj.
