Her work can be found in permanent collections such as the Hirshhorn Museum and Los Angeles County Museum of Art and in Phaidon’s Vitamin D2 survey on contemporary drawing. Sokolow received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004 and is Associate Professor of Instruction in Art Theory; Practice at Northwestern University.
