MacArthur Foundation “genius” grant, served as a presidential appointee to the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, and partnered with the Ford Foundation in creating the U.S. Latinx Arts Futures Symposium.

Often her sculptures present spectacular optical illusions and evoke natural phenomena, land formations, and water in its infinite forms.
