Levy received a Bachelor’s degree in arts with an emphasis in arts education and art therapy from Ohio State University.  Levy calls herself “a process artist, not a product oriented artist.”

She goes on to state, “I hope I will inspire a person to think about their world.  No one should be a victim of anything, from emotional abuse to sexual abuse, domestic abuse, war or murder.  All life should be honored, and with that I dedicate this show in the memory of my special child, Chandra Levy.”

Levy’s daughter was missing for a year when her body was discovered in Rock Creek Park, Washington D.C. in 2000.
