For a long time, Peng was introduced as the daughter of her artist father. When she started her installations by painting on shoes, boots, clothes and the plastic bodies and limbs of female mannequins, she won recognition and her works are now collected by many museums and galleries around the world.

She has been deeply influenced by conceptual art from the West. She says water and ink are just a medium for her to create works. She has painted copies of Chinese ink paintings done in ancient times onto different objects.

In 2011, Peng did erotic paintings inside silk shoes. She believes shoes are very private objects for women, and to some extent, silk shoes in ancient China were often associated with love and sex. Later, she devoted herself to works on other symbols of women's privacy, such as clothes and plastic body parts.
