In her artistic work, Engel moves in various media forms of expression: from analogue and digital drawing to objects and multiples to video and performance art . However, textile materials are always at the center of her work. In doing so, she undermines the supposedly female connotation of the material in a game with gender and role models .

Since 2001 she has been working on a continuous series of “Outfits for the artist barbie”. Based on the Millennium Barbie "Marie", she developed showcases as a homage to important women artists. She tailors the outfit and designs a key work of the respective artist on a Barbie scale.

In addition to her artistic work, Engel volunteers for Bildwechsel , a self-managed, non-commercial artist project in Hamburg. In this context, a number of video thumbnails (since 2010 are paraconsumalaxia , Easter Sunday in the garden ), and since 2017 in cooperation with Lilia Tirado migrant Installation flower therapy emerged. The work dream tissue in seven includes Leporellos an accompanying Resulting watercolor iertes dream diary of the years 2017-2018.
