Geller studied at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, and taught there with Karl Zerbe. It was at the Museum School that she began painting with encaustic, a mixture of pigment and hot wax. She first received acclaim as a painter of "organic abstractions" in the 1940s when she exhibited with a group of other emerging artists later known as the Boston Expressionists. Her work was more abstract than that of Zerbe and other Boston figurative expressionists. After marrying the composer Harold Shapero in 1945,〔 An interview about Harold Shapero and Irving Fine.〕〔Driscoll (1952). Driscoll, covering both Geller's "one man show" at the Boris Mirski Gallery and another by Louis Kronberg, wrote, "Taking the lady before the gentleman (to prove that chivalry isn't dead, of course) one finds Miss Geller, in real life, the wife of Harold Shapero..." before going on to observe that her style had become more abstract in recent years and praising her "flair for rhythm, deftly handled patterning, and integrated composition".〕 Geller continued painting and exhibiting, and taught art classes at the DeCordova Museum in Lincoln, Massachusetts. She has been active as a painter for over sixty years. As recently as 2012 her encaustics were shown in a major exhibit, ''The Future of the Past: Encaustic Art in the 21st Century'', at the Mills Gallery in Boston. The exhibit also included a video demonstration by Karl Zerbe and an interview with Geller. Her works are included in the permanent collections of the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, the Addison Gallery of American Art, and the DeCordova Museum. On October 22, 2015, Geller died at the age of 93.
