She is best known for her long-running creative partnership with her husband, penciler Terry Dodson, a collaboration that has produced some of the most visually polished superhero art of their era.
Her bibliography reflects a comfortable fluency in both the Marvel and DC universes. At Marvel, her credits include *Marvel Knights: Spider-Man*, *Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do*, *Avenging Spider-Man*, *Generation X*, *The Uncanny X-Men*, and *Mr. and Mrs. X*.
