She has received two New York State Council on the Arts grants (in 1987 and 2003) and a Photo Urbanism grant from the Design Trust for Public Space in 2002. She has had one-person shows at the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago and galleries in New York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., Seattle, and Santa Fe.
