In 1910, Adolf Loos planned the so-called Haus Steiner in Hietzinger St. Veit-Gasse for the couple , which was soon to become an artistic and social center.

Initially, Steiner mainly created drawings and etchings , but during the First World War she found her way to oil painting . From 1917 Steiner went public. In 1925 she became a corresponding and in 1926 extraordinary member of the Hagenbund , as well as a member of the Vienna Artists' Association . Her originally expressionistic style , based on Oskar Kokoschka , gave way to a quieter style after moving to Paris. She was only recognized as an artist in Paris.

Portraits of women and children, as well as the topic of motherhood, played an important role in Steiner's work. After 1937 she referred to political events in her works. She created numerous graphic portfolios and illustrations, her studies of conductors and artists such as Alban Berg , Arturo Toscanini , Arthur Honegger and Aristide Maillol stand out. The lithographs for Arnold Schönberg's Gurre songs and those on the subject of mother are well known . She created figural compositions for a tapestry manufacture in Aubusson .
