Her work draws on personal and contemporary discourses, offering insight into the intersection of these themes. 

Pohlod’s distinctions include awards from the California Society of Printmakers, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, and the Redfield Fellowship at Black Rock Press. She has exhibited her work and served as a visiting artist both nationally and internationally.
