In 1885, she became a member of the Société des Artistes Français.[1] Three watercolors she painted in 1916 showing the lives of soldiers are in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.[2][3][4]

In 1909 she obtained the first price at the Union des Femmes Peintres et sculpteurs. Her work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics.[5]
