She has been an integral part of the art scene in her adopted city since. In all she has has produced twenty five solo exhibitions; participated in over ninety group shows from Ireland to China; has received 12 Arts Awards; has completed eight residencies both at home and abroad, and represented Galway City on one occasion and on another, Ireland, Internationally. Her work is in many prestigious art collections - The Arts Council Collection, Microsoft Irish Art, Irish Trade Board, Office of Public Works, the Radisson Hotel Collection, and the Dept. of the Taoiseach, to mention a few.
