Scuris was one of the select group of students Albers introduced to Madeleine and Arthur Lejwa at the Galerie Chalette. While still a student at Yale, she exhibited at their Structured Sculptures show of winter 1960.[6]
She exhibited at the Whitney Museum of Art, MOMA, The Baltimore Museum of Art, and the Yale Art School, and worked on major commissions for the Bankers Trust Company[7] and the Salk Laboratories in the 1960s.[8]
She was recruited, along with Norman Carlberg, by the educator and artist Eugene Leake (both
alumni of the Yale/Albers MFA program), to revive the sculpture program at the Rinehart School at the Maryland Institute of Art. That revival was, by Scuris's account, "all about Bauhaus,”[9] an educational approach that centered on knowledge of the physical manipulation of materials rather than strict figurative representation.
