In 2010, Ginsburg completed Conduit, a public artwork installed on the University Services Building's exterior on the Portland State University campus in Portland, Oregon.Ginsburg's work has been included in books such as Data Flow: Visualizing Information in Graphic Design and The Map as Art, Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography.[5][6] Ginsburg is a Professor and Chair of Media Arts, teaching in the Intermedia, Printmaking, MFA in Visual Studies, and MFA in Print Media programs at Pacific Northwest College of Art.[7] She holds a Master of Fine Arts in Printmaking from Cranbrook Academy of Art in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and a Bachelor of Arts in Art History from Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.
