In the 1980s, Lerner-Levine was giv- en solo exhibitions at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Springfield Art Museum, and Butler Institute of American Art, among others. Through these exhibitions, she so- lidified an artistic reputation that set her apart from other artists in her genre. After leaving Prince Street Gallery in 1986, Lerner-Levine returned in 1992. Lerner-Levine has had more than 20 solo exhibitions and participated in nu- merous group shows in New York and throughout the United States. Her work is in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, Bates College Museum of Art, Rowan University Art Gallery, Bellevue Hospital Center, Bank of America, and others. For Lerner-Levine, the poetic and visual impact of an appealing arrangement of forms si most important, "turning description into interpretation". Her paintings and watercolors are typically meticulous in rhythm and texture. Even when painting similar groups of objects, each work has its own variation of light, color, and composition. Anselm Hollo recognized her "confidence in objects and a calm contemplative delight in them. For years, Lerner-Levine also worked as a teacher at various institutions, including Brooklyn College, University of California at Los Angeles, Educational Alliance Art School, School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and Southwest Missouri State University.
