Yehudis Barmatz-Harris has also worked as an assistant to the curator David Gibson in New York City, interviewing and writing curatorial notes for his work in progress. She has conducted interviews of artists in Israel, working as reporter for Individual Collective/Sarah Lehat and contributing articles for Jewish Art Now.

In May 2011 her piece "mother figures" was displayed in a show called "Language" featuring young immigrant artists in Israel, at the Museum Asirei Hamichtarot in Jerusalem.In June 2014 the digital multimedia work "Breaking of the Vessels"  displayed in a digital exhibition "FusedArt Israel" in the House of Israel, Balboa Park.

 In addition to her Fine Arts practice, Yehudis Barmatz-Harris has been involved in teaching arts to a variety of populations, including tutoring an autistic adult who now is an exhibiting artist,  giving workshops in an eating disorder rehab, and painting and drawing classes to elementary and highschool students within the ultra orthodox community.  Yehudis's working philosophy for herself and when giving over to others is a belief in the process and achievements in creative arts as providing confidence and healing, in addition to tools for expression and reflection. This philosophy is .expressed in her own personal works
