Further, the artist continues her studies in Paris with Auguste-Joseph Delekluz. At the Paris Salon of 1896, she exhibits a pastel portrait. It is also exhibited at the Royal Academy. A year later, Mead returns to Bury St Edmunds from which he hardly leaves. In the same year, Kitchen en Boheme was shown at the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Two paintings on Friday morning at St Mary′s Church were shown in an 1899 exhibition. For the purpose of earning a living, he writes live custom portraits of local dignitaries. In 1933, during a short trip to the south of France, he creates a watercolor painting "Saint Paul de Vence". She wrote to local residents, encouraging them to pursue their careers and discouraging them from family ties. The artist never realized her potential declared at the beginning of her career. Difficult life circumstances, the need to look after parents did not allow talent to unfold. She passed away at the end of March 1946 at the age of 78 at her studio in Crown Street, Bury St Edmunds.
