Miss Van has also shown work in dozen of galleries. She has shown with artists such as Os Gemeos, Mike Giant, Banksy, Faile, Shepard Fairey, Barry Mcgee, Ryan McGinness, Takashi Murakami, Ed Templeton, and many others. However, she says that she prefers to paint outdoors, because painting on walls was a way to show that she "was boycotting the conventional art world" and it also makes her work available to a larger audience.
She says at first that her dolls were self-potraits, since "graffiti has a very megalomaniac side." But later her work was more for everybody. She liked "painting a sexy doll in an inappropriate place" to help people "forget their daily lives.”
