[4] Her range of handbag, boot and shoe-inspired works was featured at Form Gallery in the Christchurch Art Gallery in 2005. [4]

Gold's work has featured in the 1991 and 1994 Fletcher Challenge shows and the New Zealand Society of Potters' Royal Easter Show. She won the Premier Award at the 1996 Cleveland Charitable Foundation Trust show in Dunedin, and in 1997 won the first prize at both the Cleveland and the Birkenhead Award exhibitions. [3] [5]

In 2023 Gold held a joint exhibition with painter Catherine Garrett at The Artist's Room in Dunedin, showing works inspired by native flora and fauna and using transfer images, and "sumptuous bowl forms". [6]
