In 1802, she followed him to Paris and took lessons from the flower painter Gerard van Spaendonck.
She became a successful painter and spent summers in Haarlem painting the flowers of the various flower companies, and she spent winters in Amsterdam teaching ladies how to paint. In 1824 she went back again to Paris to take lessons from the artist Jan Frans van Dael.
