Jacobs in Wilmington, Delaware; Astra-Zeneca Pharmaceutical in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania; and of Mayor Eva Galambos at Sandy Springs City Hall in suburban Atlanta. She has also been a returning juror for the   Atlanta  Arts  Festival,   the  Virginia  Highland Festival, and the  International  Art  Competition of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.
