Partridge was born in Devon, England and migrated to New Zealand with her family around 1877.[2] The family lived in Timaru, in the South Island, for a time. In the 1880s, Partridge and her sister Florence moved to Christchurch to attend Canterbury College School of Art.[3]

In 1887, Partridge became a working member of the Canterbury Society of Arts. She also exhibited with the New Zealand Academy of Fine Arts and held her last exhibition at the age of 96.[3][4] Her paintings feature landscapes and still lifes.
