Ilse Tesdorpf grew up with two younger brothers in a well-off Hamburg merchant family, her father John Daniel Tesdorpf (* 1875) was a cousin of the illustrator and watercolorist Ebba Tesdorpf : her grandfather Wilhelm (* 1812) was a brother of Ebba Tesdorpf's father Hans Peter Friedrich (* 1810). Gustav Theodor Tesdorpf and Oscar Louis Tesdorpf were her great uncles.

After finishing school at the private Kreussler Lyceum, Ilse Tesdorpf was a student of the painter, graphic artist and art teacher Arthur Siebelist from 1912 to 1915 . She painted landscapes, Hamburg cityscapes, still lifes, people and undertook study trips to Denmark, France, Mallorca, Norway and Switzerland as well as within Germany (North and Baltic Sea coast, Bavaria, Elbe region).

In 1918 Ilse Tesdorpf married the painter Henning Edens , with whom she lived for several years on the Elbe in Övelgönne .
Edens died in 1943, and shortly afterwards the apartment and studio on Rödingsmarkt were destroyed by bombs, as was all of her previous works. Thanks to the art-loving Himpe family, Ilse Tesdorpf-Edens succeeded in making a new start with the use of living space and studio in Hamburg-Wellingsbüttel, and in 1951, together with their patron couple, the Reimers, they built a new semi-detached house with two residential units at Wellingsbütteler Landstrasse 68.
