In 1922 Lougheed went on a sketching trip to Darcy and Pemberton Meadows led by Thomas Fripp.
She was a founding student at the Vancouver School of Decorative & Applied Art when it opened in September 1925. She was living at 329 2nd Street in New Westminster with her sister, who was also a student at the school. She did not graduate from the art school.
Information about her art schooling is incomplete, and Macdonald states she began studying art at the San Diego Academy of Art "around 1926", followed by more study at the Chicago Institue of Fine Arts.
She exhibited with the Palette and Chisel Club at the B.C. Art Gallery in 1928. Later that year she showed three landscapes and a group of etchings at the Provincial Exhibition in New Westminster in the loan section.
She also exhibited with the Island Arts and Crafts Society between at least 1929 and 1931. In 1929 one of her paintings, Indian Paintbrush, was hung in the National Gallery of Canada.
In 1930 Lougheed won a poster competition and by doing so won the honour of being the first woman appointed as official artist to the National Parks of Canada.
She exhibited a painting at the Canadian National Exhibition in 1930.
She exhibited her work in a number of the annual exhibitions of the B.C. Society of Fine Arts. She was unusual in that she only exhibited as an invited guest, and did not join the Society.
Lougheed exhibited her work in the inaugural B.C. Artists annual at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1932, and had work in numerous subsequent B.C. Artists exhibitions in 1933, 1934, 1936, 1938, from 1940 to 1946, the juried 1948 17th Annual, and 1951. She also showed work in the B.C. Artists Christmas exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1933.
She entered work into the 1945 B.C. At Work exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery.
She was on a list titled "Leading Vancouver Artists," provided to the Labour Arts Guild on April 10, 1946 by the Vancouver Art Gallery to assist in the Guild's call for entries to the third annual B.C. At Work exhibition.
Lougheed died in Vancouver in 1989, she had been living at 6650 Arbutus Street. She was a widow at the time. Her daughter Ruth Buzzard of Whistler signed the death certificate.
