Since 1950, she has returned repeatedly to Austria, primarily to Vienna and to her childhood summer home in Altaussee, in Austria's Salzkammergut region. She has painted the mountains, lakes and countryside in and around Altaussee, Austria, for more than seven decades. Her range of work includes landscapes, fantasias, mythic figures, and biblical scenes, often transported to this remarkable Alpine world. For the past five decades, Lichtblau has exhibited her works in galleries, museums, universities, and churches in New York City, in Europe, and throughout the United States. She has had two major career retrospective exhibitions in Austria, one at the Palais Palffy in Vienna (1994) and the second in the Pfarrheim Arts Center in Bad Aussee, near Altaussee (2002), along with a 2010 retrospective at the 8th Floor Space in Chelsea.
