Her work has been shown in many venues in Texas,[6] as well as some outside the United States. Her art is strongly autobiographical and sociological.[3][7] Her work is also influenced by the theme of family.[8] Her works are exhibited in the permanent collections of the San Antonio Museum of Art and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art.[1]
