She illustrated her first book, The Breaking Point by Daphne de Maurier, in 1959. She illustrated her first children's book, The Brave Balloon of Benjamin Buckley by Barbara Wersba, in 1963. During her lifetime, she illustrated more than forty books including If There Were Dreams to Sell, The Six Swans, and The Fisherman and His Wife.
