Aside from art exhibitions, her work has also appeared in books. These publications fall into two categories: illustrations and artists' books, often combining both. These include Cow/lines. Copper Beach Press. 1982. ISBN 9780914278375. with poems by Edwin Honig, which consists of a strip formed from 2 joined sheets, folded accordion-style to form 22 pages on each side. This artists' book is designed in such a way that it can be viewed either as a regular two-page spread or as unfolded whole.[7]
