Gordon was born and raised in Upstate New York and earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fine Arts from Skidmore College. Since her graduation she has enjoyed continuing success as a painter, having had group and solo exhibitions, as well as ongoing representation in numerous galleries throughout the East Coast.

Her new work uses the increasingly popular medium of encaustic, brought back to favor by artists such as Jasper Johns. Graham's paintings combine the grid with relief elements to refer to nature and landscape. She has been exhibiting paintings and three-dimensional works as well as installation art throughout New York City, New Jersey and Upstate New York for over 25 years. Graham's work is included in numerous private and corporate collections.
