Her work, both on the streets and in the galleries is very colourful and she uses popular culture and iconic works of art history and gives them new life in her artworks.

Death NYC (s 1979) on Ameerika naiskunstniku akronüüm, mille taga seisab “Don’t Easily Abandon The Hope”. Tema nime osa on NYC, mis viitab tema kodulinnale New Yorgile. Tema looming nii tänavatel kui ka galeriides on väga värviline ja ta kasutab nii populaarset kultuuri kui ka kunstiajaloo ikoonilisi töid ning annab neile oma loomingus uue elu. PoCo muuseumis olev teos viitab kolme kunstniku loomingule: Banksy tüdrukule õhupalliga, Takashi Murakami naeratavatele lilledele ning Yayoi Kusama kõrvitsatäpilise mustriga südamele.
