She first exhibited in the Royal Scottish Academy in 1868 with her Early in Spring.[4]

In 1870 she exhibited two works at the RSA: Hollyhocks and An Old Wall – Study. In 1871 at the RSA another two works were shown: Basket of Summer Fruit and Apple Blossom. In 1872 at the RSA three works were submitted, all of flowers: Camellias – Study, Rhododendrons and Roses.[4] In 1873 she exhibited three works at the RSA: Primroses, Winter Apples and Periwinkles.[4]
