The 2011 re-edited video version of her 1993 stop-motion film The Painted Princess was shown in the 2011 Hudson Mohawk exhibit. Her live-action, stop-motion film Spring Cleaning, commissioned by EMPAC in Troy, New York, has been recently exhibited at the Walter Reade Theater as a part of the 2012 Dance on Camera Festival and at the Museum of the University of Albany and the Munson Proctor Museum of Art.
