During her early life she lived at Brentwood and then for many years at Walton on the Naze on the north Essex coast. She was educated at Queen Anne’s School, Caversham and studied art at Chelmsford Art School (1928-1931). She won a scholarship to the Slade School of Art (1931-1935). Exhibitions Include: The Royal Academy, The New English Art Club, The Society of Women Artists and The Whitechapel Art Gallery.J, She exhibited widely, including at the Royal Academy in London and on many occasions at the New English Art Club.
