Hoyer’s art is on display at the Museum at Texas Tech University’s Artist Printmaker Research Collection; the Association of Pinoy Printmakers, Philippines; and the Museu da Gravura de Curitiba, Brazil. She has been recognized by multiple organizations including Minnesota State Art Board, the Windgate Foundation, the Cultural Center of the Philippines, and Brown University’s Center for Study of Race and Ethnicity in America.
