Non notable artist, mention in the NY Times is clearly trivial at one line. Daniel J. Leivick 00:58, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

• Keep , I disagree found her art in at least one museum. Added a few more references. Callelinea 01:57, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment From the links that you posted we can determine three things. One she participated in the SFhearts project and had here bio (probably auto bio) posted on their website, this is not an independent source, nor a particularly major project. Second we see that see that she had a show at the Napa Valley College art gallery also very minor as Napa Valley is a small community college not known for art exhibitions and not an indication of notability. Second we can see that she participated in a group show at the Bolinas Art Museum. Bolinas is very a small town close to were I live and participating in a group show their seven years ago really does not indicate any form of notability or importance. --Daniel J.

• Delete, search of Google News Archive and Google Books turns up nothing establishing notability. An accomplished artist with some regional name recognition but hasn't won any major awards. NYT mentions her participating in a competitive workshop, but these are simply career/training/collaboration events for artists and not recognitions. Being an invited faculty artist at a workshop is not even by itself notability but may be an indicator of it. --Dhartung | Talk 04:06, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
