Smith, AR, July 19-20. Then in September, she will be one of two featured artists at the Artists’ Workshop Gallery in Hot Springs.

She is currently serving as Exhibition Chair of the International Association of Pastel Societies and is on the Executive Committee. Her work has been juried into exhibits in seven states across the United States. She is a Signature Member of the Arkansas Pastel Society.
