Exhibits in Florence (Italy) took place in 1969, 1970 and 1972 and in Switzerland from 1973 to 2008, after she settled in the Commune of

Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne conserves 45 photo-etchings since Charles-Henri Favrod in 1993 made a choice of her héliogravures as dust grain photogravures are called in French. The Dutch Museum van Bommel van Dam keeps 23 etchings and lithographies printed by herself on her own manually driven press since 1978, accepted after a vote of the Municipality of the town of Venlo. Her work can also be found at the Dominican University, Illinois. In July 2012, the Musée historique du Chablais in the Château de la Porte du Scex added 2 oilpaintings to their collection of etchings, lithos, héliogravures and woodcuts they already conserved, to the 80 artistproofs and handprinted originals executed by Heijermans. From 26 April until 28 October the Musée historique du Chablais in Vouvry organized 2 exhibits showing the history of the region, where the artist lives and works. For that reason her etchings, watercolors and oilpaintings, depicting sites of Les Ormonts region or the plain where the Rhône river joins the Lake Geneva, were on display and accompanied a show of the history of health resorts and hotels.[15]

In 2014, the municipality of her commune awarded her the Mérite Boyard 2013, which included a bronze sculpture by André Raboud and funds to cover her expenses.
