She and her husband spent much of the 1920s and 1930s abroad. In 1939 they were living in Exeter but in 1946 she was working as a physiotherapist in Calstock, east Cornwall. She exhibited at the 1949 'Foresters Hall' exhibition in Polperro, showing a number of portraits which were painted in Trinidad, and also paintings of seagulls.
Alongside her involvement with Polperro artists, she became a member of STISA, with whom she exhibited in 1950-1951. She then moved to Sussex but after her husband's death she moved back to Devon, and was living in Budleigh Salterton at the time of her death.
