Her work has been exhibited at venues including the Philadelphia Museum of Art; the National Portrait Gallery, Washington, D.C.; Asheville Museum of Art, Asheville, NC; the Contemporary Museum, Baltimore, MD; and the Wexner Center in Columbus, OH. She has attended residencies at Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts, Millay Colony for the Arts, and the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Levonian received her BA from The College of William & Mary, Williamsburg, Virginia, and her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, Providence. In 2009, she was awarded the Pew Fellowship in the Arts.
