She specializes in American furniture and decorative arts, Native American art, American folk art, and Pennsylvania furniture and decorative arts.

She began her career in American Decorative Arts as assistant curator at the Detroit Historical Museum. In 1984 she became curator of costume at the Detroit Historical Museum. In 1986, she relocated to Cambridge, Massachusetts and switched from museum work when she joined the American Furniture and Decorative Art Department at Skinner Inc., Bolton and Boston, Massachusetts. Before leaving New England in 1997, she had the great pleasure of directing the cataloguing project of the Folk Art Collection of Nine Fletcher and Bertram K.

Each Commonwealth has tremendous inventory of historic material, great institutions, and citizens who treasure their inherited and collected items.
