Greenbaum has exhibited her artwork internationally at places such as MoMA PS1, the Kusthalle Düsseldorf, the Nerman Museum of Contemporary Art, and the Haus Konstruktiv, among others. Art critic John Yau writes of Greenbuam's process: "Working within a smaller surface area, and in her own words, doing 'just one thing' at a time, Greenbaum paints incrementally, adding a new layer upon whatever preceded it." Greenbaum uses mixed media some of which is not conventional, including oil paint, acrylic paint, magic marker, and others. Her paintings have been described as "geological", with each layer forming a distinct strata and she doesn't remove any of the layers. Starting in 2004, Greenbaum started to create abstract, small ceramic sculptures after enrolling in a ceramics class at Greenwich House. Greenbaum received a Guggenheim Fellowship in 2001.
