Her work can be found in many public and private collections including the New York Museum of Modern Art, the Fine Art Museums of San Francisco, Yale University Art Gallery, the Davis Museum and Cultural Center at Wellesley College, the Hammer Museum of UCLA, the Honolulu Academy of Arts, the Hawaii State Art Museum, and the Contemporary Museum in Honolulu.
