Her portraits of such seminal figures as ork, R.E.M., the Clash, Bambaataa, Tina Weymouth, DNA, the Ramones, Beastie Boys, Iggy Pop, Chrissie l-lynde, Joan Jett, Madonna, and many others are valued for their unpretentious intimacy and emotional power.

Levine enjoyed wide access to musical greats. many of whom became close friends.
