She received a Washington State Governor's Arts and Heritage Award in 2001.
She created a basket using red and white film leader entitled, And Then There's the Business of Fancydancing, inspired by Sherman Alexie's film, The Business of Fancydancing (2002), in which the main character, a Spokane man, is lovers with a white man.
Artweek reviewer Marcia Morse writes, “And Then There is The Hollywood Indian Princess (2002).
Using the Northeastern Woodlands fancy-stick basket weaving, Tremblay wove with, not brown ash and sweetgrass used by Northeastern tribes, but recycled 16 mm leader and film on sexually transmitted diseases, elegantly subverting multiple stereotypes.”
Tremblay also wrote exhibition catalog essays about other artists, including, "Speaking in a Language of Vital Signs," for the 2008 exhibition catalogue, Joe Feddersen: Vital Signs at the Hallie Ford Museum of Art at Willamette University.
Tremblay described her work as combining historical Native American techniques and materials with mainstream artistic expression.
Her poetry and art were inspired by the cultures of Indigenous peoples of the Northeastern Woodlands.
Tremblay says she learned basketry from her aunts, but "update[d] them for a contemporary audience" through the use of modern materials such as film stock and film leader.
Tremblay's art draws from Native American history, Indigenous cosmologies, along with literature, Western movies, and other pop culture references.
Tremblay describes the work, saying, "I chose to use Porcupine Stitch because there are so many difficult and prickly relationships between characters in this film.” The film influence on her baskets also includes When will the Red Leader Overshadow Images of the 19th Century Noble Savage in Hollywood Films that Some Think are Sympathetic to American Indians (2018), a basket woven using 35mm movie film from the movie Windwalker (1981), which was acquired by the Smithsonian American Art Museum in 2021.
