In November 2019, she had her first Grand Opening of her artworks at the Colquitt County Art Center, Moultrie, Georgia, USA.
Her works are mostly abstract in nature, with a strong bright color palette and bold strokes that carry messages of her life experience and journey, love of her family and the death of her husband. She is very passionate about women’s autonomy and loves to paint women's body parts. To her, it's a symbol of women as being valuable, strong and independent.
