Artist and art student at Perth Technical School who exhibited at the Chamber of Manufactures’ Exhibition in Perth in 1906. Her work was also part of the school’s exhibit at the Perth 'Women’s Work’ exhibition of 1907. This exhibition was selected in its entirety to be sent to Melbourne for the national Women’s Work Exhibition. The exhibitors were Levinson, Kitty Armstrong, Flora Le Cornu, Mattie Furphy and Alice Richardson. As it was modestly sent as a non-competitive exhibit none of these women feature in the prize lists. However the exhibits were reduced and sent as a group to the Franco-British Exhibition in London in 1908 where, to the satifaction of J. W. R. Linton (an art master at the Perth Technical School) and the director, they were “awarded the Grand Prix and the Diploma of Honour, showing that the work executed at this School is of a high order of merit.” She was probably part of the family of jewellers who arrived from Victoria in the late 1890s.
