After her marriage to attorney Warren E. Lloyd in 1898, she settled in Los Angeles. Content with raising a family, she was in her fifties when she became interested in a sculpting career. She then went to Paris to study under Robert Wlerick. Upon returning to Los Angeles,she was active in the local art scene until her death on Dec. 30, 1945. Her oeuvre includes portrait busts and statues. Her nude bronze female sculpture “Repose” is in the southwest pavilion of the Exposition Park rose garden. Her companion nude male bronze, “Poise”, was vandalized and the body was removed leaving only the feet on the stone base. She exhibited at the Golden Gate International Exposition in San Francisco in 1939 with the bronze Negro Head, the New York World’s Fair in 1939 with the bronze Man With Ball, and at the Stendahl Galleries in Los Angeles in 1941. In 1943 Lloyd was selected to cast a bronze of the “Mother of Los Angeles”, Mrs. Willoughby Rodman, a well-known and respected civic leader. The bronze was presented to the City of Los Angeles where it was to be displayed in City Hall. (Google)
