She devoted her adult life to the welfare of children and worked closely with her sister, Nora A. Smith. Nora Archibald Smith (1859-1934) was an American children's author of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and sister of Kate Douglas Wiggin. Nora and Kate coauthored and coedited a series of children's books.

He is known for his distinctive saturated hues and idealized neo-classical imagery.
