She utilizes fluorescent colors and patterns in her work to celebrate Ghanaian culture; The parts of it that are deemed to be nothing special. Ghana is a country that was colonized by the British and only gained its independence in 1957. The damage had already been done. "Our identity has been so looked down upon to the extent that that is what is considered “normal”. Archer paints everyday activities such as pounding fufu, braiding your hair, getting a haircut ,etc along with depicting images of foods that are important to her culture, to put these normal activities on a pedestal. With her use of vibrant colors and different mark makings, she presents paintings that allow everything about what is depicted to be appreciated.
Archer's work has been shown in group exhibitions: "Waking Dream" at River House Arts in Toledo, OH, "Snickers That Turn to Livable Joy" at the Cleveland Institute of Art in Cleveland, OH, and "I Am My Best Work", at The Painting Center in New York, NY. Most recently,
she co-curated a two person exhibition "Cut From The Same Cloth" at Kaiser Gallery in Cleveland, OH.
