Her work can be found in collections ranging from The Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, to The National Ballet of Canada, to the Queensland College of Art Gallery, Australia, to The National Art Gallery, Varna, Bulgaria, The Bibliotheca Alexandrina, Egypt, and the Shanghai Art Museum, China. Public Commissions of her work include major mural for Calgary International Airport 2004; The Business Revitalization Zone BRZ 17 Avenue Mural Commission 1990; and Outdoor installations in Quebec at the Foundation Derouin 2005 under the title: The Library of The PreCambrian.

With the Whitemud Trailhead Building being a meeting place, the artist felt the mural needed somehow to reflect a collective identity to the community. “I Am You” is a title that reinforces this theme and is a positive representation of the similarities we all share. The tumble of figurative references is a structural metaphor for how a group is made up of individuals. Echoing the architectural friezes of historical mural facades, the image becomes a heroic emblem for the everyday person. Included are an array of archetypes that go beyond race, job, gender, age, and social status. The artist wanted the image to celebrate everyday people, like those who will be shareholders using the building. To access the building, take Keillor Road through Whitemud Park.
