She was one of England’s most notable garden painters. She studied at the Royal Academy Schools and exhibited at the Royal Academy
in 1889-99. Around 1900, she began to paint garden subjects. Her first one-woman exhibition at Dowdeswell’s Gallery in 1904 was
a near sell-out, securing her career as a professional garden artist. She painted in England, Europe and Africa, recording the
gardens of grand country houses alongside those of suburban homes in the London area. Her clients were mainly the creators of
new gardens rather than the owners of old ones. She liked to paint borders and flower gardens in the full glory of their summer
colours, and her watercolours are a wonderful source of information about Edwardian planting. She also specialised in painting
the spring gardens of Devon, Cornwall and Somerset, with trees in blossom and spring bulbs.
