In the war years and after, she was closely linked with representatives of *Neo-Romanticism such as Robert *Colquhoun, Keith *Vaughan, and John *Minton. Later she associated with left-wing supporters of *Social Realism such as Derrick *Greaves, John *Berger, and especially the sculptor Ghisha Koenig (1921–93).
Her early paintings combine two tendencies: the Neo-Romantic ‘spirit of place’; and concern with the ‘particular and the vivid’ representation of working lives which was an aim of Social Realism.
This is most notable in her series of fishermen, such as Lowestoft Harbour (1951, Arts Council)
