In 1999 she produced her own poster with the cooperation of the New York Racing Association entitled "Under the Elms at Saratoga". A former rider of Morgan horses in Western Pleasure classes, Mary Beth now rides for fun. She also volunteers with Equability, a riding program that allows people with disabilities the opportunity to ride and interact with horses and other animals. Mary Beth lives with her husband, Mark and Flasher, a basenji. Her work also includes photographing other animals and children. Mary Beth has had her work published by several companies and one of her photos of a "laughing" quarter horse will be published in a greeting card by Leanin' Tree, Inc. of Boulder, Colorado in their 2002 International catalogue.
