Career
Palmer's work was most recently shown in the opening show of Salt Lake City's ArtSpace Commons, including part of her "Age of Aesthetics" series, a series on bald women inspired during the Summer of 2010 and first shown at the Hive Gallery in Trolley Square.
Black-and-white photography features strongly in her work, sometimes printed onto metal or wood.

In 2008 the Salt Lake City Weekly called Palmer's work "striking", and wrote that she was "one of the rising stars of the local art scene's work". They also noted that she is "active in the community, teaching classes and serving on the board of the Women's Art Center."
