Each of these artists has inspired her color perception and composition. Wakefield is represented by Powers Gallery of Massachusetts. Her paintings have been featured in The Palette Magazine; Wild Apples: A Journal of Nature, Art and Inquiry; & on book covers: Splash, Plein Air Poetry 2016 & Shadow and Light, A Literary Anthology on Memory.
