A member of various art organizations in Dallas, in 1939 she was one of eight women who founded the Printmakers Guild, later called Texas Printmakers, to challenge the male-dominated Lone Star Printmakers; the others were Lucile Land Lacy, Bertha Landers, Stella LaMond, Mary Lightfoot, Verda Ligon, Blanche McVeigh, and Coreen Mary Spellman. She exhibited widely in Texas, and died in Dallas.
