Her work has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. In 1936, Herrera wrote, “The modern Paintings [sic] consist of ceremonies and other dances. They paint the things they do in every day life. Some of the animals and some scenes are similar to Persian paintings. Designs that the modern painters paint are purely abstract. None of the paintings are realistic. Beautiful paintings are produced more and more which emphasizes that the Indian art is rising again.”
