I have shown artwork at Metroform Gallery in Tucson, AZ, received "Best of Show" for a Contemporary Painting show in Boston, and have shown with an artist collective in Tucson as a benefit for RAWA (Revolutionary Association for Women of Afghanistan).

I have taught art in various elementary schools and non-profits.
