With her husband, Joshua Frankel, she has created large-scale murals like Queens is the Future and digital art, including "Thanks," a digital billboard visible from Truck Route 9 in Kearny, New Jersey thanking essential workers for their efforts during the COVID-19 pandemic.[6]

The Wassaic Project, of which Biddle is a co-founder and co-director, has been in operation since 2008 in the hamlet of Wassaic within the town of Amenia, New York.[1] Artforum has described the Wassaic Project as a "surprisingly ambitious exhibition and residency complex."[7]
