One year, her school recognized her as "Teacher of the Year". She was designated a Mentor Teacher for her excellence, and guided new teachers to success in their class rooms. Accomplished in virtually every media, she maintained a private practice, delivering portraiture, sea scapes, photography, jewelry, potter, commercial, and architectural renderings across the Carolinas... Grey was particularly proud of her final series of work, "Animals of the Uhwarries", as befitting her own Cherokee heritage.
