She earned a B.A. degree at Barnard Collegeand studied at the Art Students League with Robert Henri, Kenyon Cox, William Merritt Chase, and John Alexander. Her sister Ethel Louise Paddock, born two years later and who also studied with Robert Henri would also become a painter and a member of the National Association of Women Painters and Sculptors. Both sisters would go on to exhibit at Henri's Exhibition of Independent Artists in 1910, a show that in some ways was a prototype for the Armory Show three years later. She exhibited two small, sketchy watercolor sketches of swans in Gallery L of the 1913 Armory Show in New York City. Her work was among forty-eight 19th and 20th Century paintings in the collection of Seymour R. Thaler and Mildred Thaler Cohen which was bequeathed to the Mattatuck Museum, Waterbury, Connecticut, in 2000. The works, many by well-known artists like George Inness, John Singer Sargent and Jasper Cropsey, were exhibited at the Museum in 2000 in A Touch of Light: American Tonalist Masters.
