Citron was raised in Brooklyn and studied under John Sloan (1871-1951) at the Art Students League. She embraced social realism and became associated with the group of artists working in the style around Union Square. In the 1930s, she worked for the Works Progress Administration as both a teacher and a muralist. Her best-known mural is in the post office of Newport, Tennessee and depicts the future of the Tennessee Valley Authority.
