May wrote poetry, and was published in Vancouver as early as 1907, in the December issue of Man to Man magazine. She had two poetry chapbooks published by Ryerson Press, one in 1931 and one prior to that. The cover illustration for The Way to Fairyland is below.
May had work in the 1933 B.C. Artists exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery, and also in the 1933 B.C. Artists Christmas exhibition.
The 1940 B.C. Directory listed her as a School Teacher. In 1946 she and her sister Grace Judge gave an exhibition of their watercolours at the Vancouver Art Gallery. Both of the women were living at 239 East 10th Avenue, North Vancouver at the time, telephone number North 774R. It cost them $5.00 to rent a room from the gallery for their exhibition.
May's work was included in the retrospective 1960 B.C. Society of Fine Arts exhibition, and later in the exhibition "Contemporaries of Emily Carr", at the Simon Fraser University Gallery, February 5 - 22, 1974.
