She was possibly related to Auguste de Châtillon, a French painter who travelled to New Orleans, as several of her paintings have been identified as depicting people from New Orleans.

She was one of the first members of the Union of Women Painters and Sculptors founded in 1881 by Hélène Bertaux and frequently showed her works in their exhibition.
She is the mother of Louise de Châtillon, born in 1851, who seems to be connected to the artist Auguste de Châtillon, as she claims that she is his niece.
