Her early works demonstrate a clear understanding of academic traditions, but she soon embraced a more expressive and atmospheric approach.
The landscapes of the Barbizon school and the tonal paintings of George Inness likely influenced her development.

Life at Peconic Bay

They established “High House,” where they both painted plein air, directly observing and capturing the nuances of the surrounding landscape.
Peconic Bay became a central theme in her art, providing endless inspiration for her waterscapes and studies of light and atmosphere.

Her landscapes are characterized by a subtle palette, atmospheric perspective, and a focus on the interplay of light and water.
The allegorical works often drew inspiration from literature and mythology, exploring symbolic narratives through figurative compositions.
She skillfully blended realism with evocative mood, creating paintings that were both visually appealing and emotionally resonant.
