Also in Prince of Persia (just for the title screen [0], if I understand well). Definitely, she's one of the outstanding pixel artists in history. All the Deluxe Paint demo images are hers and are mind-blowing [1]. You can identify her works by the "AH" signature, often discretely embedded in some texture.
