Flood-Paddock first came to wider attention in 2010 for her solo exhibition 'Gangsta's Paradise', Hayward Gallery Project Space, London, that centred on a sculpture of a giant lobster.[3] Her work often is monumental in scale, commenting on our consumer society.[3]

In June 2011, Flood-Paddock had a solo exhibition at the Carl Freedman Gallery of new sculpture called Fantastic Voyage.[4] and again in 2014 for a solo show called 'Nude' which was reviewed by Frieze Magazine.[5] Flood-Paddock was named as 'Artist of the week' by the Guardian Media Group's theguardian.com website in July 2011.[3]

In 2012, Flood-Paddock collaborated on an artwork with British fashion designer Jonathan Saunders for Britain Creates, which concluded with an exhibition at the V&A.[6] In 2012, Flood-Paddock had a solo exhibition at Tate Britain, London.[7]

In 2017, the Tetley Gallery in Leeds hosted an exhibition Refinding bringing together new and recent works by Flood-Paddock, along with the Oak Tree series of sculptures, drawings and prints by 20th century sculptor, the late Kenneth Armitage.[8] Flood-Paddock was awarded a Kenneth Armitage Fellowship (2013–2015), which enabled her to live and work in Armitage's studio for two years.[8]
