Anderson painted various subjects and topics in both oils and watercolours and also produced etchings, engravings and lithographs.[1] Anderson exhibited at the Royal Academy in London, with the New English Art Club and at the Paris Salon in France and also showed paintings in Chicago and in Canada.[1][2][3] Anderson married the artist Thomas Collingwood Clough in 1933 and the couple lived in Surrey, where she died in 1974.[2] The British Museum and the Victoria and Albert Museum in London hold examples of her work as does the Christchurch Art Gallery in New Zealand.[4][5]
