She is known for her portraits in oil and watercolor. She encourages her students not to let fear stifle their creativity. She noticed that a lack of confidence keeps many students from being innovative and experimental in their work therefore copying what they see instead of allowing their most creative work come forward. Outside of teaching in her studio, she has demonstrated painting to Art Associations, and has been known to serve as a juror for various events such as the Mansfield Art Festival and the Easton Art Festival, as well as for the Stoughton Art Association Show and the Franklin Art Association.
Ms. Zeldin Kahn enjoys painting what the spirit encourages her to do. This brings her to paint portraits, flowers and landscapes, as well as religious scenes from her reading of the Old Testament.
