She exhibited two paintings in the 1945 British Columbia At Work exhibition at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

She also exhibited her work in the B.C. Artists annuals at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1945, 1946, 1947, 1955, 1965, and 1968. She lived in Vancouver in 1946, and Alberni in 1955.

In 1964 she exhibited two oil paintings in the Burnaby Art Gallery spring exhibition, "Little Red Riding Hood" and "The Leader."

She began to exhibit with the B.C. Society of Artists, in 1966 as an Associate Member, and again in 1967 as a full Member. Unfortunately the Society ceased to exist that year.

She died in North Vancouver in 1999 at the age of 82. Her occupation was noted as "Painter - Artist." She was divorced at the time. She had been living on Bowen Island.
