She works in performance, video, sound, music, installation, photography, and sometimes taxidermy. She is one half of the music and experimental sound outfit, XUXA SANTAMARIA. Her work has been exhibited and performed nationally and internationally at The Whitney Museum of American Art, Tufts University Galleries, the Buffalo Institute for Contemporary Art, SFMOMA, the Arizona State University Museum, the Vincent Price Museum, and the Wattis Institute (USA), the Museo de Arte Contemporaneo (Puerto Rico), Art Hub (Shanghai) and MEWO Kunsthalle (Germany). Works are included in collections at part of The Whitney Museum of American Artand KADIST. She has recently participated in residencies at Eyebeam, NY, Headlands Center for the Arts, Mills College Museum, CA, and the ASU Museum, AZ and composed and choreographed performances for the SF Arts Commission, Merce Cunningham Trust and Soundwave Biennial.
