She studied at the Beckenham School of Art from 1928 to 1930, then at the Slade School of Fine Art between 1931 and 1934 before going to the Westminster School of Art from 1936 to 1939. Among her tutors at this time were Mark Gertler and Bernard Meninsky who taught her drawing.
In 1932, she married the watercolour painter Ernest J Fedarb and they held a joint exhibition at the Fine Art Society in 1935.

Examples of exhibited titles include: "Still Life", "Composition", "Fish on a Dish", "Garden in Snow", "Olive Trees", and "Road in Aveyron".
