She has done work throughout Western Europe, the United States and South Africa, where her husband used to work several years before. More often than not, she would paint her subjects at the comfort of their own homes than at her studio or her sister's.

You will see on the autobiography of one famous actress the portrait that the artist drew of her. The makers of a famous line of greeting cards, the makers of tire and rubber, and the makers of a fa mouse tomato ketchup of 57 varieties fame are among the clients whose portraits she has already made.
