Her work has been featured in Victoria Magazine and Hoffman Media Books-The Art of Flowers and Living with Roses, Country Gardens Magazine, Ell Maga-zine, The NY Times and Sunset Magazine. Whew! She has also been a participant in many flowers shows including the prestigious Bouquets to Art, DeYoung Museum, Golden Gate Park, and Monterey Museum of Art.
