In the late 1970s she worked with her mother doing fine-line painting on some of her pots. In 1979, she participated in the "One Space: Three Visions" exhibition at the Albuquerque Museum. A collection of her works can be seen at the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts.^[2]
