Neither delivering an interview to one's local paper nor having one's paintings exposed in one's city of residence (what the references indicate) is substantive evidence of notability. I can't see any of the WP:PROF or WP:ARTIST criteria being met. And indeed, none of the long list of achievements seems to merit inclusion, but before someone says one of them does, I'd like to note they too are unreferenced, so we have no evidence that she can actually lay claim to all but three of these (the footnoted ones). - Biruitorul Talk 15:52, 25 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. I trimmed down all the cv-like cruft from the article so I could see what was actually there. There does seem to be a little coverage of her in reliable media, but most of it is announcements of exhibitions in her local newspaper. I'm having a hard time justifying the broader coverage in reliable sources that would pass WP:ARTIST or WP:GNG. And while she claims some major art show and museum exposure, again there doesn't seem to be much coverage of it that we could use as the basis of an article. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:21, 8 April 2011 (UTC)
