"When she undertook something she did it right. She studied and studied until she got it right" attested Carl Rohman Jr. She began collecting in the 1930s. The height of her collecting took place in the 1970s and 1980s. She became a published author in Miniature Magazine, commissioned outstanding miniature makers to create models from the American Neoclassical era, and reached out to collectors all over the country. After assessing the number of American Neoclassical, American colonial and Victorian pieces that she commissioned, it can be assumed those were her favorite eras. Her attention to detail was remarkable, as well as her records, documentation, and effort to learn as much about the eras as possible.
