Among the many group and solo shows in which her work has been featured are the Miami Warehouse Project, Traces: The Body in Contemporary Photography at the Bronx Museum of Arts, 11 Conceptual Photographers at the Generous Miracles Gallery in New York, and the installation Cybernetic Information Center at the Miami Art Museum.
