Her works can be seen at Champs-De-Mars and Vendôme metro stations, Hôpital Sainte-Justine, and the ICAO headquarters, in Montreal; the Place du Portage in Gatineau, Quebec; and the Granby, Quebec courthouse.
She was awarded the 1983 Paul-Émile-Borduas medal for the visual arts by the government of Quebec. [1] In 1985 she was made a Knight of the National Order of Quebec and was promoted to Grand Officer in 2000.
