Her work is figurative, narrative, socially situated, and ranges from individually carved figures to installations with cast objects, prints and narrative text.  Her exhibition, In Our Own Words, at the LUAG Main Gallery, Zoellner Arts Center, was composed of over 400 ceramic heads, eight looping audio tracks and accompanying text.
