After studying at Barnard College and Columbia University, she began giving performances in New York City in 1973 while teaching art history at the City University of New York.

The pop-music success of her song "O Superman" (1980) led her to record two albums, Big Science (1982) and Mister Heartbreak (1984). Her major 1980s piece was the multimedia extravaganza United States. Other works include Stories from the Nerve Bible (1993) and a multimedia work (1999) based on Moby Dick
