She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, Central School of Arts and Crafts, London and Chelsea Polytechnic, London and also studied under Ferdinand Léger in Paris. In 1953 she travelled to Australia and then to New Zealand. She is best known for her animal prints which displayed a careful observation and a lively eye for detail.

This is truly an outstanding quality poster. It is printed on Fuji crystal archive photographic paper and is by no means a flimsy poster.
