Before Present

She has taught at New York University, the University of British Columbia, and the Alberta University of the Arts. Lam has attended residencies at Skowhegan, MacDowell Colony, Yaddo, and the Banff Centre. Her work has been exhibited at the Bronx Museum of Art and the Queens Museum of Art in New York.
