In 2021, Marchand exhibited a curated body of work, "Tellus Caelus: Seeing Earth and Sky" at the historic Whittemore House in Washington, DC, as a vision of a new perspective for life on earth. Her interest in art and science manifests in the conceptual ideas underpinning her work and her proposal to travel the exhibition locally and nationally.

Marchand exhibits with Zenith Gallery in Washington, DC, Green Chalk Contemporary in California, Cross Contemporary Art in New York and has exhibited with prestigious galleries in Maryland, Florida, North Carolina, California, New Mexico, Arizona, and Hawaii. She has received numerous prizes and grants for her work, most recently an Artist Fellowship from the DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities in 2020. Her work is featured in numerous corporate and private collections in the United States. She lives with her artist husband, enjoying walks in the historic neighborhoods of DC and visiting downtown art museums and galleries.
