She is retired from the University of North Texas and is a Professor Emeritus for the School of Visual Arts.

Mrs. Gough has actively supported and served the Greater Denton Arts Council in a variety of capacities.

She is also credited with having given the exhibition its unique and comprehensive name. Now in its twenty-first year, Materials: Hard & Soft has grown to be an outstanding showcase of American crafts.
