Her predominate medium is metal with light as a dominant factor.[1] She is currently working in New Mexico[2] and is a Professor of Sculpture at the University of New Mexico.[3] DeJong received a National Endowment for the Arts Visual Art Fellowship in 1982.[4] In 2003, she had a retrospective at the Albuquerque Museum of Art and History.
