Hartland painted flowers, mainly daffodils. Her uncle, WB Hartland, a plantsman who specialised in daffodils, produced a number of catalogues in the 1880s and 1890s which were illustrated with her engraved floral images. This included several editions of the Little Book of Daffodils - for which her drawings were engraved by W.J. Welch.

Hartland married a man named Stephen Jackson. She died in 1954.
