As an artist, Moffat has exhibited her work throughout Canada and internationally and has completed a number of artist's residencies.

Language and speech have been ongoing subjects of exploration for Moffat. The installation entitled "COMP_OSE" exhibited in a national tour in 2008 and 2009, included two interactive interfaces - one creating language as sound, the other as text. These "instruments" engaged gallery goers in collaboration. [4] These artistic concerns extend to include the slippage that occurs in translation, as in the work "she i her" exhibited at The Dunlop Gallery in 2015. [5] In 2017, she was commissioned to create Small Sonorities: Material Signals, a four-minute, multi-screen video as part of the Remai Modern Art Gallery web commission project. [6]
