I began my professional photographic career as a staff photographer for the anti-war paper The New York Free Press. I also worked for newspapers and magazines covering the political crisis of the 70s.
I continued my work for corporations, industrial and editorial clients. My photogrpahs have appeared in magazines, textbooks, annual reports, corporate brochures and photo book collections. My work has been exhibited in the U.S. and Europe. I have had one-woman shows at Nikon Gallery, Soho Photos, (I was a founding member of Soho Photo), Forum, Trade Center Gallery and others. Group shows have included Leica Gallery, First Woman’s Bank, MIT, United Nations, Museum of Natural History, Museum of the City of New York and others. I have had portfolios published in many photo anthologies, including Family of Women, Photo, Zoom, Popular Photograph, Women See Men and others. I established and directed the photography department for Chemical Bank. During that period I worked on a number of audiovisual shows for fundraising purposes. These included Meals on Wheels, Senior Citizens Organizations, The Bronx and Chinatown.
In the early 80s, I represented my photographic organization ASMP on a trip to China to meet with and exchange ideas with the Chinese Photographers Organization. I also represented OXFAM on a trip to Vietnam, Cambodia, Bangladesh and Australia.
