She attended the Slade School of Art, 1902–03, before training under Max Bohm at Etaples, and at the Académie de la Palette in Paris, 1910–13, where she studied with Jean Metzinger and was in the circle around the Scottish Colourist, John Duncan Fergusson. In 1911, she contributed several illustrations to Rhythm magazine.
