She has received numerous grants as well as awards from various councils and artist run centres. Most recently she was nominated and short listed for the prestigous 2003 K.M.

   She is known for her controversial soma/somo project, a series of networked decaying grapefruits that communicate with the viewer and vice versa - which she received a grant for from the Canada Council for the Arts, which promptly ended up in debate in Parliament and inevitably the media, then across the newswires of the world. She has continued to make work that is difficult to distribute, that sometimes exists in an undefined space, or has not been exhibited until much later when there are appropriate venues.
