Ottestad currently resides in Stavanger, Norway, and her paintings and sculptures can be found in private collections in Antwerp, Nice, Rome, Sydney, and Stavanger, as well as multiple US cities. Her work has appeared in Architectural Digest Pro and Norway's Aftenbladet.  Her video “White Privilege” was selected by Dr. Maura Reilly to be in the Chicago WCA exhibit Occupy the Moment, Intersect History with Impact in January 2022.

“I give a full-throated endorsement to the work and practice of Ms. Ottestad and would recommend her without reservation as a stalwart member and new voice of working artists in America today.”
