Work and reception

She regularly displays her works at International FaerieCon, Spoutwood Fairie Festival and Sugarloaf Craft festivals.
Biggs is a participating artist in the books, The Art of Faery, The World of Faery, and Her Rainbow World.
Finding that her work was sought after by temporary tattoo makers, she began production of flash kit tattoo stencils. In their 'Coffee With' Dec 1, 2010 interview, she compared her depictions of fairies, from their beginnings, "about 10 years ago", to her work at the time. "...They were a whole different world of fairies...they were sweet, and just pretty. Now I've taken them to where they mean something"
