She grew up in Java, Berlin and Holland. From 1897 onward, she collaborated with the studio Blanc Gardin in Brussels. She travelled to Florence, Paris, London and Berlin on study visits. She painted miniatures and portraits. She was the driving force behind many Belgian and Dutch art associations. In 1919, she travelled to Dornach. In 1924, she became a member of the Anthroposophical Society. Rudolf Steiner designed for her a house with studio in Dornach. As a jointly responsible leading painter (until 1939) at the Friedwart continuing education school linked to Goetheanum, she focused her interest under the guidance of Rudolf Steiner to the sphere of applied arts (handicrafts). She was responsible for poster design work at Goetheanum for 37 years.
