Held many successful solo shows in London and Scotland, including at The McEwan Gallery. Elected member, Royal Society of Marine Artists 1969, also professional member, St Ives Society of Artists. To increase her knowledge of weather and sea conditions of the western seaboard she cruised as a crew member on an ocean yacht.
