Recent exhibition sites include the Mitchell Art Gallery (Edmonton), Peter Robertson Gallery (Edmonton), Open Studio (Toronto), Strzeminski Academy of Fine Arts (Poland), Novosibirsk State Art Museum (Russia), Taoxichuan Art Museum (China), Bunkier Sztuki Gallery of Contemporary Art (Poland), Petrocultures 2018 Conference (Scotland) and SNAP Gallery (Edmonton). She is a recipient of the Special Award of the Rector of the Fine Arts Academy in Katowice (International Print Triennial Society, Krakòw, Poland) and a Research and Creation Grant (Canada Council for the Arts) for a collaborative project with Angela Snieder.
