Additionally she has received several project grants from the Regional Arts and Culture Council of Portland, Oregon and exhibits her work nationally and internationally.

She utilizes a broad range of media from work ion paper to objects, critical presentations of multiples and interactive pieces involving video and sound. There is an emphasis on the idiosyncratic and the vernacular as a means to reflect on individual experience as collective experience.
