At the end of her life, the artist donated to Dinan her home, her collection of over 4000 works (paintings, sketches, ceramics, posters, prints, photographs and illustrated works), and her library, as well as some 1400 illustrated letters from Méheut. It was Méheut who helped her discover Art Deco and Brittany, the latter proving to be a subject that was to become a favourite source of inspiration for her work. A keen traveller, she also worked in the United States, as well as painting interior decors in a dozen transatlantic liners belonging to the large shipping companies.
