She has exhibited in galleries and online, with collectors across the United States, Australia, Canada, Colombia, England, France and Switzerland. Cosgrove illustrated 'Family Album,' a children's album by the hit rock band The Verve Pipe. In 2011 she was awarded an Arts Council Individual Artist Grant for her child-friendly art show 'Animal ArtVenture,' hosted by the Lansing Art Gallery. She says of her art, 'I was born into a family where everyone makes something: art, music, food, clothing, noise, a mess... I found I like to make messes and art at a very early age. I expect to keep doing both until I draw my last breath. I'm a lucky girl.'
