Much of her work involves acoustic instruments, electronics, intermedia, and the crossing of boundaries between art forms coalescing into a unified conceptual model. Her work is inspired by the written word and by visual art, both static and moving, as she collaborates with filmmakers, choreographers, poets, media artists, sculptors, and painters. Festival and concert presentations of her compositions include the New York City Electroacoustic Music Festival, UMBC Livewire, the Corcoran Gallery of Art, John F. Kennedy Center CrossCurrents New Music Festival, Georgetown University Friday Music Series, Indiana University’s Intermedia Festival, Earth Day Art Model at IUPUI and Sonic Circuits DC.
