She was admitted into the Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Malerinnen, Bildhauerinnen und Kunstgewerblerinnen [Society of Swiss painters, sculptors and artisans] in 1915. Two years later she also joined the Anthroposophical Society of Switzerland. After marrying Walter Pflugshaupt, a teacher at the Rudolf Steiner School, she moved to Basel. After her husband’s early accidental death she moved to Lake Thun in 1930 – first to Oberhofen, then Faulensee and finally, in 1951, to Thun. In 1984 the Kunstmuseum Thun organised a special exhibition to celebrate her 90th birthday. Pflugshaupt continued to paint and draw until her death in 1991.
