Her work can be found at Coleman Fine Art in Charleston, where her husband, Smith Coleman, makes gilded and hand-carved frames.

She has been featured in American Artists, the Artist’s Magazine, and other artists’ publications, and has illustrated 11 children’s books. She was awarded the Portrait Society of America’s Gold Medal in April of 2016.
