She was the painter of landscapes, still
life and flowers and studied in Toronto,
New York and London under such artists as
McGillivray Knowles, Birge Harrison and
Stanley Forbes. In 1924 she held a joint
show with fellow artist Minnie Kallmeyer
and received an admiring review from
"Saturday Night".
Watercolour and pastel were her primary
media though she also painted in oils.
She is known for painting 18 plates with
underwater designs for the Cabot
Commemorative State Dinner Service, now
part of the Canadian Museum of Civilization.
Her work has been shown at the Royal
Canadian Academy (1904-1936), the Canadian
National Exhibition (1907) and the Ontario
Society of Artists (1903-1920). The Art
Gallery of Ontario (Toronto) owns one of
her works, a pastel study of trilliums.
During the 1930s, she also organized
annual exhibitions of her paintings at
her studio on Irwin Street in Toronto.

She was unmarried.
