She then worked as a senior art instructor in the Petach-Tikva Museum of Contemporary Art. Her work has been exhibited since 2003 in New York, Berlin and Israel. In 2008 she had her first solo show in New York City, with a cover article in the Manhattan Times.

Watercolor paintings and drawings portray figures and interiors in strong, alluring colors and movements.
