She has exhibited internationally for the past 20 years and is in numerous collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, The George Eastman Museum, and The Farnsworth Art Museum.
Cig is the author of four sold-out books: You Look at Me Like an Emergency, Gardening at Night, You an Orchestra You a Bomb, and her most recent release, Blue Violet, highlighted by the New York Times as a new and notable book of 2021.
