Annenberg's paintings are in the permanent collections of the London Jewish Museum of Art, England; the Yad Vashem Art Museum in Jerusalem, Israel; the Vilna Gaon Jewish State Museum in Vilnius, Lithuania and the Florida Holocaust Museum, St. Petersburg, USA. She is represented by Flomenhaft Gallery.

In 2015, M. Annenberg was honored by the Women's Caucus for Arts for her work focusing on media outlets and their ongoing omissions and misinformation about social, political, and environmental issues.
