In the last decade, she has exhibited in the Hudson Valley in multiple shows and been in several national and international shows as well. Her work has been exhibited most recently at Woodstock Artist’s Association and Museum, Center for Photography at Woodstock, Arts Society of Kingston, Byrdcliffe Guild, Lev Shalem Gallery, Wired Gallery, Olive Free Library, Vanda Gallery, and New York Artists Equity Association.

Albert has also published three books, including the novel, Matters of Chance, which was a National Book Award Finalist. Her second book, The Other Side of the Couch, explores what goes into highly effective psychotherapy; and the third, Mending the Heart, Tending the Soul, treats the Bible from Genesis through Leviticus as an extended metaphor about the personal spiritual journey, written for spiritual seekers of all traditions.
