When a very young girl the family moved to Los Angeles where she grew up and graduated from high school in 1920.

Upon returning to San Francisco she then attended the CSFA during 1923-25. In the 1930s she executed several commissions for the Federal Public Works of Art Project. She made many trips to Mexico, and while in Mexico City studied mural painting with Diego Rivera. After her marriage to sculptor Parker Hall in 1938, the couple settled in Carmel where she remained.
