Though she worked in numerous mediumspencil, pen, ink, and oilher pastels set her work apart. Noted for her commercial dog postcards and her delightful "Tailwagger" series, she also created a "Puppies" series of 40 cigarette cards during World War IIproduced in a limited quantity due to wartime restrictions on paperwhich have become a rare collector's item today. One of her most famous works is her portrait of "Dookie," the British Royal Family's favorite Corgie, which was later reproduced as a Royal Family Christmas card.
