The family moved from Melbourne to Brisbane in 1920. In 1925, Agnes enrolled as a full time student at the central Technical College in George Street, studying painting and pottery. She gave up pottery in 1934, to focus on craft/arts, although some of her pottery was exhibited. Agnes first exhibited with the Royal Queensland Art Society (RQAS) in 1929. She was awarded Honorary Life Membership in 1976. In later years she concentrated on bark painting and oriental brush painting, exhibiting both art forms with the RQAS. In January 2007, Agnes joined a very special group of people as a centenarian, having reached 100 years of age. She was still working at her art, making her own gift cards. Her success in business – as in life – seems to stem from the unique way she sees the world. "I just look at things, and suddenly they become something different." With her passing in 2008, an endowment of funds from her estate was made available to the RQAS to continue the Drawing award, originally named after her husband with her name now added to the prize.
