She was a member of the American Watercolor Society, the National Academy of Design, the National Society of Painters in Casein and Acrylic, the Audubon Artists, and the Knickerbocker Artists. She won many awards and honors, including seventeen medals of honor from the American Watercolor Society; her work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, the National Academy of Design, and the University of Southern California, among other organizations. She married Thomas David Bowes in 1946; the couple divorced in 1981.
