Her works has been exhibited in solo exhibitions at University of Arkansas at Little Rock, Adah Rose Gallery in MD, University of Maryland Global Campus in MD, DCAC NANO Gallery in DC, Academy Art Museum in MD, Irvine Contemporary in DC, Glen Echo Stone Tower Gallery in MD, Brentwood Arts Exchange in MD, and New Art Dealers Alliance (NADA) Art Fair in FL, and more.
