There she taught art history and was curator of collections for the Newcomb College art department. Also during this period (1968–69) she worked at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum as research assistant to the institution's director. She began to seriously paint as an artist in 1971. She later taught at the University of Oklahoma, and had a retrospective show there in 1986.[2] In 1998 she had a show at the Mabee-Gerrer Museum of Art.[3]
It was during her creation of a commissioned portrait of Christ, "The Lamb and The Lion", in 1992 that she turned to spiritual writing. Her book Love Without End, Jesus Speaks was published in 1998.
Her biography states that she had paintings on exhibition in the United States at the Smithsonian Institution, Williams College Museum of Art and the Museum of the City of New York.[citation needed] She is now a public speaker on new age spirituality and lives in Arizona.[4]
