She had an artistic independence. She studied in the École des Beaux Arts (1903–1909) and met Auguste Rodin. Her work was part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1924 Summer Olympics. She wrote a Journal d'artiste (a diary), from 1930 to her death in 1965.
Her mother Madeleine Carpentier was also a painter.
