She has presented her work at numerous group and solo exhibitions, receiving awards from the expert juries of the Rovinj Colony (2016) and the Slavonian Biennale (2021). She has also exhibited at the prestigious European Media Art Festival in Osnabrück, Germany (2009). Her work is included in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts in Osijek, Croatia.
She has participated in art colonies in Hungary, Macedonia, Serbia, and Croatia and completed an artist residency in Graz, Austria, with Kulturvermittlung Steiermark.
Her works have been published in numerous catalogs, books, and newspaper articles, accompanied by texts by curators and art theorists such as Branko Franceschi, Boris Greiner, Branka Benčić, Blaženka Perica, Krešimir Purgar, and Luca Vargiu.
