A professional singer in her youth in London (she studied under Sir Henry Wood), she returned to South Africa after the outbreak of World War I, where she opened a singing studio in Bloemfontein. Later in 1939, then living in Port Elizabeth, she started studying art, painted and modelled in clay and carved in gypsum, and exhibited widely.
