She exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New Water-Colour Society and the Salon de la Société Nationale from 1888 to 1912.[2] Her miniatures are in various collections, most notably the Victoria and Albert Museum that holds her self-portrait, and the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers.[3]
