Her work was recently included in “North by Northeast: Contemporary Canadian Painting” at Kasmin Gallery (2021) and the Thailand Biennale at the Pimamthip Art Gallery (2021). She has exhibited international at museums and galleries such as Philip Martin Gallery, Los Angeles; Klaus von Nichtssagend Gallery, New York; Simon Lee London, UK; University of Georgia Athens, USA; Atlanta Contemporary, Atlanta; Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston; El Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños, Oaxaca; Galleria d’Art Moderna, Milan; Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, Overland Park; and Leo Koenig New York, NY). Coulis’s work is included in the collections of the Blanton Museum of Art (Austin, TX); Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art (Overland Park, KS); Rollins College (Orlando, FL). Her work has been reviewed in publications such as Artforum, Art in America, Los Angeles Times, The New York Times, Flaunt Magazine, Hyperallergic, and FT Magazine.
