Their art is in collections in Los Angeles, Tokyo, Toronto, London, Rome... and has shown in museums, galleries, on large buildings, in subway stations and forests. The work  has been covered in major media (The Globe, Gazette, Japan Times, Forbes, etc). K.I.A. is currently developing public art projects, a photobook, new media motion poems, earthworks, NFTs, large-scale ephemeral wall sculptures, as well as expanding various painting series  (genetically modified, palimpsest, architectonic works, and so on.)

The artist also makes  music under the names K.I.A. as well as Shinjuku Zulu. The music has received 4 star reviews in the media (The Star, The Gazette, etc.) Sheryl Crow recorded a cover version of K.I.A.'s song "Mrs Major Tom".  Various tracks have been used in film & tv shows from The Shield to Catfish.

K.I.A. also makes poems. They turned into song lyrics. Then text paintings. Then back to poems. Now the are new media (digital) text works.
