Marie was a painter of the Sèvres factory from 1801 à 1842 and she exhibited her porcelain paintings at the Salon from 1808 à 1836.
Quand elle était 44 years of age she was presented with the title of First Painter on Porcelain of the Kings; which gave her the ability to open her workshop, where she taught both female and male students the art of porcelain painting for almost twenty years, including Marie-Adélaïde Ducluzeau (1787 – 1849) another painter of the Sèvres factory.
