She has exhibited in museums, public galleries and private art galleries in England, Europe, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and the USA since 1970. Priest’s work is in numerous public and private collections including the Tate Gallery, the Dallas Museum of Art, the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Canadian Centre for Architecture. She has won major public commissions including the Monument to Construction Workers in Cloud Gardens Park, Toronto, for which she, the architects and landscape architects were awarded a Governor General’s Award for Architecture.
