Her female contemporaries at the Academie included Rose-Marie Guillaume and Amelie Beaury-Saurel.[1][2]

Having travelled in the United States of America she stayed in California between 1911 and 1915, then moved to New York.[1]

Her work included working in pastels and oils, landscape painting, miniatures, and portraits. Carlisle's miniatures depicting Queen Victoria and Princess Mary are held in the National Portrait Gallery.[3]

Carlisle was an internationally renowned artist who exhibited her works at the Royal Academy of Arts in London; the Paris Salon; Walker’s Art Gallery, London; Charles Cobb Gallery, Boston; Knoedler & Co., New York; and Steckel Gallery, Los Angeles.[1]
