If you ever have a chance to visit Rio de Janeiro, you can see her work comprised of nearly 5,000 tiles at the Museu Nacional das Belas Artes (MNBA).

Also worth a visit: in the auditorium of the city hall of Petrópolis, RJ, restoration work is being carried out on a 39-meter panel depicting the history and landmarks of the city.
