This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... it states the career trajectory of an American artist - it doesn't include any subjective adjectives in the description of her work just lists her exhibitions and describes her most recent book. The article follows exactly the same structure as for many other artists.

  • I've declined the speedy, but it does need some non-primary sources to show notability. I'm not sure that the exhibitions she's had so far have been major enough to justify inclusion. By major I mean that the exhibitions are at a venue that is major enough to where it's highly selective and the location would be independently notable enough to warrant an article of its own. Most galleries don't pass this criteria - the places that this particular part of the criteria is meant to cover are major museums (usually national museums). Now if you can find things like newspaper articles discussing her exhibitions and/or academic sources talking about her work, those could help show notability.

The article contains sourced claims that her work is in the collection of the of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Notability is not in question. Mduvekot (talk) 15:23, 12 March 2017 (UTC)Reply
