In 1911 he dedicated the volume of poems Profils d'or et de cendre to her . After his death in 1936 she was married to her brother-in-law, the artist Fernand Ochsé , who was friends with the composers Arthur Honegger , Maurice Ravel and Reynaldo Hahn .
Between 1905 and 1914 she exhibited her works in the salons organized by the Paris Société nationale des beaux-arts . Between 1906 and 1912 she took part in exhibitions at the Libre Esthétique in Brussels .
A well-known work is a mask by Claude Debussy , which is also available in cast variations in the Musée de Grenoble and the Musée d'Aquitaine in Bordeaux . A bust of Maurice Ravel created by her was in his house in Montfort-l'Amaury in 1937 and is possibly there today in the Musée Maurice Ravel . A bust of Henri de Régnier is in the Musée National d'Art Moderne . A copy of the bronze medal Challenge de Gramont (1928) is in the holdings of the Fogg Art Museum .

Honegger could there not save, and they were with the "convoy 77" on 31 July 1944 in the concentration camp Auschwitz deported where they were killed.
