Her sculptures are held in other museum collections in Europe, Britain and Japan and private collections throughout the world.
She has exhibited internationally in galleries, including in Austria, Great Britain, Cuba, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Japan, Sicily, South Africa, Spain, the United States.
Among her notable solo shows are Spirits in Steel – The Art of the Kalabari Masquerade at the American Museum of Natural History, New York (1998–99); and Imagined Steel at The Lowry Arts Centre, Manchester, which toured to the Oriel Mostyn Gallery, Llandudno; Brewery Art Centre, Cirencester; and Derby Museum and Art Gallery (2002–03).
In 2003, her proposal NO-O-War No-O-War-R was shortlisted for Trafalgar Square's fourth plinth.
