"[2] After four years of study at the League, when her student visa expired, Pusey moved to England to live with her two brothers in London and continued her education.
Whereas many other tenants willingly left, Pusey held out, the landlord tried cutting off the electricity to push her out, and eventually paid her to leave.
[2] In 2011, Pusey's health had declined and pieces of her art were auctioned off in a bankruptcy proceeding to support her care.
[7] Pusey returned to the U.S. and her work was featured in a 1971 major group exhibition titled Contemporary Black Artists in America at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
[3][8] During the 1970s, she participated in a community art space called Communications Village operated by printmaker Benjamin Leroy Wigfall in Kingston, NY.
[9] Pusey also became a teacher and taught at may places, including The New School, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, and Rutgers University.
In 1971, her work, Dejygea (1970), was featured in an exhibition titled Contemporary Black Artists in America at the Whitney Museum of American Art.
this same work has been featured in a 2017 exhibit, Magnetic Fields: Expanding American Abstraction, the 1960s to today, at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art.
