York in 1891 to work as a staff artist at Tiffany Studios. Her
reputation was also becoming established for miniature portraits of
prominent New Yorkers including Lillian Russell, the

her family was living. By 1896, she was in London, where she
painted miniatures of nobility such as the Prince of Wales, Cecil
Rhodes and Czar Nicholas II in1899.
