She has participated in numerous group and solo shows for nearly a decade and has been selected as an artist in residence at institutions in Buenos Aires, Montreal, Toronto, and Picton. Her work has been profiled in various publications, with her book of drawings Sonority of Words gaining critical acclaim.
