She was the featured artist for Art in the Gardens for the Mendocino Botanical Gardens in 2009 and Winesong Artist for the Mendocino Coast Hospital Foundation in 2011. In support of the Mendocino Coast SRA her work was also featured on the Annual Salmon Restoration Associations T-shirts for the Worlds Largest Salmon BBQ a couple of years. Higgins is the resident artist at the girl & the fig restaurants in Sonoma and Glen Ellen, California since 1998 and her work can be found locally at The Gallery Mendocino and a the Mendocino Art Center.
