She has received several ribbons from the local fair in the Fine Arts Division and has work exhibited locally through the arts counsel. Becky’s work was exhibited by Images Seen, which was held at the Rhodes State Office Tower in Columbus, Ohio. This exhibit featured art by artists with disabilities from all over Ohio.

Becky has been highlighted in several newspaper articles and other publications for her work as an artist, her community employment, public speaking and advocacy activities. Becky was appeared on her local public access channel in a video concerning Art on Main and enjoys public speaking, which she had done on various occasions for the local radio station, human services conferences and VSA Ohio.
