Crater in the Negev desert in Israel. She completed 2 underwater
installations Many Moons for Bass in Omi, NY and Polka
Dot Pond at the University of Maine in Augusta, and looks
forward to creating more large-scale drawings in and around
landscapes.

in The New York Times, World Art. Sculpture Magazine, NY
