Her drawings and sculptures were exhibited in the Royal Glasgow Institute, the Royal Academy and the Royal Scottish Academy. In recognition of her work, she was posthumously awarded the Glasgow City Council's Lord Provost's award for Art and an Honorary Doctorate from the University of Glasgow. <br /> <br />
