She has had six solo exhibitions, the most recent in 2019 called “Through Wisdom Waters” at Arts on Douglas Fine Art Gallery, New Smyrna Beach, FL.

And corporate collections such as International Paper Corporation, Memphis, TN, Indian Wells Country Club, Indian Wells, CA, and Walt Disney Corporation, Orlando, FL to name a few. She was an exhibitor and award winner on the national art fair circuit. She has been an art educator / instructor / teaching artist with arts integration at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH, former Bolles Elementary, St. Augustine, FL, Flagler College, St. Augustine, FL, Title One Schools in Jacksonville, FL and the former Art Institute of Jacksonville. In 2013, Sinclair taught Design 2D and 3D at Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio while earning her MA.
