Arthur is awarded to the Notable Women in the Arts, National Museum of Women in the Arts and has been nominated for a Joan Mitchell Foundation, Painters and Sculptors Grant.

Arthur fluidly intermingles multiple techniques in her active studio practice, often blurring the lines between printmaking, drawing, painting, and installation. Endangered flora and fauna populate her richly layered works, highlighting the fragility of the environment and our role in it.
