The following year, her work first appeared in the Summer Exhibition of the Royal Academy. Also in the following years, the artist regularly exhibited his work. Her paintings were also seen at the Royal Watercolour Society, but because of the inherent Decorative works the artist has not been a regular participant of exhibitions.
