She was elected a full member of the Royal Watercolour Society, however, as a woman, she could not become a Royal Academician at the time. During World War I she designed posters for a number of government departments and after the war more than twenty commemorative stained-glass windows. Her work appears in York Minister and Bristol Cathedral. She was also an accomplished illustrator and provided illustrations for books by Tennyson and Walter Scott. In 1920, a solo exhibition of her watercolours was held at the Leicester Galleries.
