She was sister to Gilbert Bayes and Emmeline Bayes as well. Her father Alfred Walter Bayes, was an artist who regularly exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts.[2]
In 1906 she became a member of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers and in 1908 exhibited at the Royal Academy. She was a part of RMS's council throughout 1925-1935.
