She specialized in flower subjects and exhibited between 1852-1882 at the Royal Academy, the British Institute and elsewhere. Her own work, as well as her sister Martha's, was greatly admired by Ruskin who wrote in his Academy Notes of 1855: “these flower paintings are remarkable for very lovely, pure, and yet unobtrusive colour - perfectly tender, and yet luscious, and a richness of petal texture that seems absolutely scented. The arrangement is always graceful - the background sometimes too faint.”
