In 1954 Cooling Galleries (London), exhibited some of her paintings.
By 1921 she had moved to the house at Bushy known as Kingsly. Here she lived with Lucy Kemp Welch. On her mentor?s retirement in 1926, she inherited title as head School of Painting at Bushy Heath. This famous school became known as the Frobisher School of Art
