She was the founding Director of Gallery 44 Centre of Contemporary Photography and in that role established their diverse educational/outreach programs. "My work has often taken the form of a loose narrative, based on ideas of the passage from one experience to another in the life process, encompassing history, memory, our sense of place, and communication or voice. My practice has involved working with photography, film, sound and installation with early interventions in the printmaking media."
