During her lifetime, Richards' bronze work was widely exhibited in such shows as the HOOSIER SALON in Indianapolis, A Century of Progress (Chicago), and the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia. In Indiana, permanent installations of her work include a statue of JAMES WHITCOMB RILEY at Court House Square in Greenfield; fountain figures in UNIVERSITY PARK and FOUNTAIN SQUARE in Indianapolis; and a group of figures representing the advancement of women in Turkey Run State Park.
