She has held solo exhibitions at Mindy Solomon Gallery (Miami, FL); Hudson D. Walker Gallery (Provincetown, MA); Ohzemidong Gallery, Gallery Dos, and Gallery Grida (Seoul, Korea). Her work has been featured in group exhibitions worldwide, including Maake Projects (State College, PA); Provincetown Art Association and Museum (Provincetown, MA); Robert C. Turner Gallery (Alfred, NY); 8BRÜT (Düsseldorf, Germany); Alte Fabrik Oberbilk (Düsseldorf, Germany); Alfred Str. 25 (Essen, Germany); Yeonmisan Nature Art Park (Gongju, Korea); HOMA Hongik Museum Art (Seoul, Korea); MoA Seoul National University Museum of Art (Seoul, Korea); SPEEDOM GALLERY (Gwangmyeong, Korea); and Gallery Imazoo (Seoul, Korea).
