She often showed her work and won prizes, including, in 1930 and 1938, the Levantia White Boardman Memorial Medal of the
American Society of Miniature Painters, which she had endowed in honor of her mother. In 1933, she was called by
Time Magazine one of the best miniaturists in the country due to her application of contemporary techniques, such as those learned from
Virginia Richmond Reynolds. She was described as a rebel. Boardman died in
Huntington, New York.
