In 2002 she co-founded Epstein Joslin Architects with her husband, where they design buildings for the performing arts.

Artist Statement
My interests have always been multi-disciplinary, exploring the intersection of artforms, with a special interest in finding the art in everyday life―from the beauty of nature to what can be created from personal tragedy. For many years, I split my time between weaving and architecture, the two disciplines feeding into each other aesthetically and technically. I have now resumed printmaking. Although I work on different content in the three disciplines, I have the same intense approach, exploring freedom within a ruled system, inserting fluidity into a rigid frame, with color as an important generator.
