I want to add info on her early works and exhibits. As well as her current works with some updates as it looks like they only have info up to 2013. I will also fix some redundancies I saw in the article.
I will use these sources and maybe some more

While still a member of A.I.R., Attie began to solidify her personal style,[1] which remained fairly consistent throughout her career;[2] she typically deconstructed existing images—such as Old Master paintings[2][3] and early 20th Century black-and-white photographs—and her works often included text to create a narrative.[4] Therefore, some of her works contain small pictures that were copied from other, sometimes famous, works by Caravaggio, Gustave Courbet, Thomas Eakins, and Ingres.[4] Some of these pictures have been taken from the backgrounds of earlier works, bringing new perspectives to features which may have been formerly overshadowed. This produces a quality of differing scale, paired with short segments of text, which creates a cinematic quality throughout.[1] The text and pictures are related, but do not contribute to a clear narrative, allowing the viewer to fill in the blanks left by the artist.[1] Furthermore, her multi-panel paintings explore the depictions of the body in the history of art and critique the gender bias in the art world.[2][4] *****By reanalyzing famous paintings she emphasizes the hidden undertones works that degrade women, possibly previously noticed to to the male gaze with which they were originally painted with. *****Because Attie, at times, has meticulously repainted well-known works but presented them in fragments or with other modifications, her work has addressed the concepts of originality and reproduction.[5]
Attie expresses that “All of my (her) work is about our hidden selves, the part of us we don’t want to share with others”, and this was her inspiration for “The Lone Ranger”. The overarching idea of the show is that "If a little boy does something, he will grow up to be a hero. But the little girls, doing the same thing, they all become whores." ****Attie expresses that “All of my (her) work is about our hidden selves, the part of us we don’t want to share with others”, and this was her inspiration for “The Lone Ranger”.**** -----I want to remove the part with stars here as it is redundant to the first sentence.
I also made some minor changes to some grammar and phrasing in the article
