From 1923-26, she lived in Manchester and while there she worked for the Calico Printing Association and exhibited at the little-known Manchester Society of Modern Painters. Moving to London she showed with the London Group and 7 & 5 Society and at the Storran Gallery. An association with the St. George's Gallery in London and then the Lefevre Gallery, latterly brought her fame in her sixties. Originally a member of Unit One she eventually resigned and was replaced by Tristram Hillier.

She showed at a variety of venues that included the International Society of Sculptors, Painters & Gravers, Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, Baillie Gallery, Chester Gallery, Fine Art Society, Grosvenor Gallery, Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, Goupil Gallery, Walker Art Gallery, Lefevre Gallery, Leicester Galleries, London Salon, New English Art Club, Royal Academy, Redfern Gallery, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours, Royal Scottish Academy, Royal Scottish Society of Painters in Watercolour and the Society of Women Artists. Examples of her work are in the collections of Bangor University, British Council, Brighton Museum & Art Gallery, Bristol Art Gallery, Glasgow Museums, Government Art Collection, Leeds Museums and Galleries, Manchester City Galleries, Pallant House Gallery, Plymouth Art Gallery, Southampton Art Gallery, Tate Gallery and the Towner Art Gallery.
