Other woodblock prints displayed scenes from nature such as rainsqualls and earthquakes, which tied in to her individual, emotional language. Chase was featured at the American Pavilion at the 1984 Venice Biennale. That year the Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston organized a traveling exhibition of her work. In 1997, the Madison Art Center organized a retrospective of her prints, Louisa Chase: Prints, 1981-1996. She has been a featured artist at the University of Wisconsin's Tandem Press and at the Tamarind Press; she was also invited to do a print for Lincoln Center in New York City.   Chase was awarded two grants by the National Endowment for the Arts. Her works are in the permanent collections of such museums as The Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Whitney Museum of American Art, (New York), The Brooklyn Museum of Arts, The Corcoran Gallery and The Library of Congress (Washington D.C.), The Walker Art Center (Minneapolis), the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum, the Denver Museum of Art, and the Elvehjem Museum of Art and the Madison Art Center (Madison WI).
