Self-taught beginning at age 30, White’s work became public in 2014 with the ProArts 2x2 Solos Exhibition, followed by the 2015 Tournesol Award from Headlands Center for the Arts, the Bay Area Now 8 triennial at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, and residencies including a fully-funded, year-long residency in Roswell, New Mexico, a Master Artist residency with Joan Snyder at Atlantic Center for the Arts, the Mills College Art Museum A+P+I residency, and 10 solo shows and multiple group shows in the Bay Area and beyond. 

While primarily a painter, White often exhibits her work in multi-media installations that include drawings, sculpture, video and books.

She now splits her time between Oakland and a shack on the Mendo Coast where she hosts How Do You Paint, an unhinged, Bob Ross-inspired painting show on YouTube.
