Her work has been exhibited in Australia, China, England, France and the USA; and has been talked about in IMPRINT magazine, ArtsHub articles, and the Print Council of Australia’s blog. She has been the recipient of various residencies, prizes and awards, including from Canberra Contemporary Art Space (ACT), Megalo Print Studio and Gallery (ACT), Goulburn Regional Art Gallery (NSW), The Unconformity (TAS), and the inaugural M16 Artspace Studio Residency Award (ACT).
