She has had several shows of her own at the library over the years.

September 19 - October 31 Home and Garden: The Paintings and Photographs of Three Hancock Women A mixed-media exhibit featuring the work of three Hancock women will open at the Daniels Room of the Hancock Town Library on Sunday, September 19 Painters Kin Schilling and Mary Torosian Graves and photographer Annie Graves offer a varied display that celebrates architectural beauty and life in the garden. The exhibit will hang through October. Kin Schilling's art reflects the time she spends in her community-supported garden, where her chickens, in particular, provide endless inspiration. Her signature chicken studies and garden compositions reveal a lyric, whimsical sensibility that has won her a following on both coasts. Schilling studied oil painting at the Academia de Belle Arte in Florence, and with Jessie Pollock and Jeanne Duval, and her work has appeared in numerous art shows. In Annie Graves's photography one sees a passion for the play of light on architectural elements, the beauty of details, and the surreal possibilities of collage. Graves, a veteran in the publishing field, is currently working on a photography book about the medieval villages of France. Mary Torosian Graves' life-long love of colonial architecture and artifacts is central to her painting. Now in her late seventies, she designs and renovates old houses that have been called "Peter Rabbit homes" because of their cozy diminutive style.
