She was interested in art from childhood, including due to the family's acquaintance with Count Gustav Troll-Bond and under the influence of visits to his castle. In 1865-1870 she received an art education at the Royal Academy of Liberal Arts in Stockholm. In 1871, she became the first woman to be awarded the Royal Medal at the end of the course. After completing her studies, she lived for some time in the German cities of Leipzig and Munich .
For the first time, her works were presented at the Academy's exhibition in 1868, and then she became famous as the author of genre paintings, the plots of which sometimes contained a certain amount of irony, floral still lifes, and especially well, according to critics, who managed to portray her mothers with children and children. Her painting “Lutspelerska” (1880), which marked a new stage in the artist’s work, was acquired by the Swedish Art Association in Stockholm. At the age of 76, she became disabled as a result of a hip fracture, but continued to draw until the end of her life.
