A pupil of Jan Frans van Dael and Gerard van Spaendonck., she is known for her still life paintings, including watercolors, as well as her portraits.

Her techniques included botanical, entomological, and natural painting, oil, watercolor, and on vellum, and engraving, as well as hand-colouring. She collaborated with Henri-Joseph, Pierre-Joseph Redouté, and Pancrace Bessa, also botanical artists. Apart from her scientific illustrative work, she is also a gold medalist in 1831's Salon.
