Five of her images are in the Loan Collection of the Professional Photographers of America.

She was voted Master Photographer of the Year twice by The Connecticut Professional Photographers Association and won a Court of Honor at The Professional Photographers of New England Print Competition.

Ms. Sheron photographed Yankee farmer, John Ludorf for 16 years to record a documentary on agricultural life. This photo essay is now in the permanent collection of the Southbury Public Library through a gift from collectors Constance and Jack Hume of New York.

The Ludorf Essay was awarded an Individual Artist's Grant by The Connecticut Commission on the Arts. The images and a story written by Ms. Sheron about Mr. Ludorf were published in Yankee Magazine in 1978.

A book of Ms. Sheron's photos of John Ludorf will be published in late 2012 by Bauhan Publishing of New Hampshire.

Her photographs and stories she has written have been published in The Sunday New York Times, Connecticut Magazine, Vermont Magazine, Yankee Magazine, Country Gentleman and The Northeast Magazine of The Hartford Sunday Courant. She has photographed in Italy, St. Croix, Monhegan Island, Maine.

She has done a book jacket portrait of writer Ann Beattie and several bookcovers for Random House. She has also done several CD and music instruction book covers.

Work by Ms. Sheron is in the collection of The Mattatuck Museum in Waterbury, Connecticut. She is in the private collections of Whoopi Goldberg, Christine Baranski, Ann Beattie, Constance and Jack Hume, David Gates, Ceasar Pelli and Aline Saarinen.
