She studied at Leeds School of Art and from 1905 with the Yorkshire painter Mark Senior, whose friend and assistant she became, accompanying him on his visits to Bruges and Holland. She painted along the coast of Yorkshire and Norfolk, her earlier work showing Senior’s influence especially. Exhibited RA, NEAC, WIAC and widely in the provinces. Was a keen member of Fylingdales Group. Lived in London for some time and at Alwoodley, near Leeds.
