The Gallery produced her first Seattle solo show in 2014 titled, “A Curious Collection of Stranger”. Since being introduced nearly ten years ago her work has been enthusiastically embraced by Pacific Northwest collectors and visitors from out-of-state. Rothman’s vintage photo-collage portraits have been exhibited in numerous US galleries and several museum group exhibits. Her portrait, “Syringa”, was a semi-finalist in Smithsonian Institution National Portrait Gallery, Washington, DC, 2022 Outwin Boochever Portrait Competition.
