She studied at the Julian Ashton Art School. Hawthorne co-edited the journal, 'Undergrowth: a magazine of youth and ideals' in the 1920s, which catered to early modernists and anti-establishment writers.

Her art practice was informed by her role as a factory worker during the Second World War. She fitted Bren gun parts at the Small Arms Factory in Lithgow, New South Wales, and made sketches of other workers, machines, buildings and surrounds.^[1] In 1945, the resulting forty watercolours and oil paintings were exhibited as 'incognito' under the name 'Brendorah',^[2] and included subjects such as 'Lunch on the Job', 'Morning After Nightshift', and 'Papuan Band at Loan Rally'.^[3] The catalogue's cover featured a linocut based on a Bren Gun Trigger Motif.^[4]

Her oil painting, The River Bank (c1930) was included in a 2020 exhibition at Day Gallery in Blackheath, New South Wales.^[5]

Hawthorne's work is held in several collections. The National Gallery of Australia has four of her artworks about factory workers.^[6]
