She won the prestigious Talente Special Prize in 2014, honoring emerging artists in a variety of disciplines. Her works have been on display at the Racine Art Museum, Dowse Art Museum, Seoul Art Center’s Hangaram Art Museum, Marino Marini Museum for Contemporary Arts, and the City of Paris’ Museum of Modern Art and published in American Craft, Metalsmith, 500 Silver Jewelry Designs, and Kunsthåndverk.
