She has completed public commissions in New York, Tokyo, and Shanghai, and currently in fabrication is an eight by fourteen-foot ceramic mural for the new U.S. embassy in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Her work is included in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the Jewish Museum and many other public and private collections across the United States.

Meyer was awarded a Rome Prize from the American Academy in Rome and has received grants from the National Endowment for the Arts and the Pollock Krasner Foundation. Recently, she was a resident at the MacDowell Colony and the Bogliasco Foundation outside of Genoa, Italy. She is a frequent artist in residence at Yaddo in Saratoga Springs, New York, as well as at the Vermont Studio Center. With Miriam Schapiro, Meyer authored the seminal and widely reprinted essay "Femmage," first published in the 1978 issue of Heresies magazine.
