[2] Kleinman studied at the American Artists School: murals with Anton Refregier, painting with Jean Liberte, and sculpture with Milton Hebald.

Another painting of Randy and paintings of Brian Napoleon were included in a 2006 show at the Ann Arbor District Library, Ordinary People, in which Kleinman showed the extraordinary qualities of "ordinary" individuals.

After a career that included sales through galleries in New York and various New England cities, Kleinman sold many paintings in her senior years.

In 2007 the University of Michigan purchased a mixed media self-portrait of a woman reading a newspaper.

After her death, in August 2012, some of her paintings were displayed at Gallery 55+ in Ann Arbor and she was given a retrospective by the University of Michigan School of Art & Design.

In 2021, her grandson Randy Napoleon released an album, Rust Belt Roots, and used a photograph of her painting, Ypsilanti Blues, as cover art.

Kleinman survived two husbands, Jack Skurnick, who died in 1952 and was the father of Davida, also known as Davi Napoleon.
