I think of them as my northern work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning artist, who includes a merit prize from the Smithsonian American Museum of Art among her various accolades, has exhibited both regionally and nationally. Ms. Batchelor\u2019s work is featured in collections at the Boston Public Library, Baltimore City College, and Fidelity Investments.
