In Sint-Joost-ten-Node she attended the Bischoffsheim Institute, a recognized vocational school for senior daughters, where the history painter Henri Hendrickx (1817-1894) was her drawing teacher. She also took lessons from the watercolorist Edouard Tourteau (1846–1908) and the painter Jan Frans Portaels (1818–1895). In 1894 she married the painter Victor Gilsoul (1867–1939), with whom she settled in Brussels. Together, the couple toured the Belgian coast, the Netherlands and France, in particular they stayed in Versailles. After her husband was convicted of arson in 1910, the couple separated.
