She is primarily known for her sculpting and mixed media artistry, which focuses on 12,000 years of Native American history and tradition of the Columbia River region. She is also known for her iconography in which she works to identify ancestral Columbia River petroglyphs in order to affirm the Indigenous presence in the region.
