Strause is currently the Department of Art Chair and Assistant Professor of Printmaking and Painting at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia. Strause uses found photographs to create her compositions, which are always of women and from a woman's perspective. Part documentary, part naturalistic expression, the painted compositions take on a provocative stance towards their topics, be they discarded family album photos, archived civil rights photography, or beauty pageant publicity photographs.
