Her exhibition record includes numerous national and international venues, including the National Art Gallery of Namibia, the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) Museum of Art, and the Albright Knox Museum, among others. Her work is housed in the collections of the Harvard Art Museum, the Getty Research Institute, and the Baltimore Museum of Art.
