In 1977, her art was included in a group exhibition at the New Jersey State Museum in the Trenton Capitol Complex.[20] In 1978 her solo exhibition in a Nassau County, Long Island museum was closed after four hours by the museum's failure to comply with fire regulations.[21] In 1980 her art was shown at the Summit Art Center in Summit New Jersey.[22] Kathryn Markel Fine Arts, Inc. represented Lederman, along with Barton Lidice Benes and Pat Lasch at Art 1981 at the Chicago Navy Pier Show,[23] and her art shown at a Kathryn Markel group show was reviewed.[24]

A reviewer of her 1995 exhibit Summer Light at Louisiana State University at Shreveport described her art as both puzzling and avant garde.[25] In 2000, Lederman contributed a painted bovine called "Hot Tips" to the New York City CowParade.[26] In 2001, a reviewer compared Lederman's exhibition Tropisms and Small Fires in Fort Myers, Florida to Jean Dubuffet's description of l'art brut.[27]
