She was influenced by a number of artists active at the time, including Gregoire Boonzaier and Frieda Lock, becoming well-known for paintings of farm-related and rural subjects. Initially she worked from a studio in Loop Street, Cape Town. Later she painted at her homes in Hout Bay, Wynberg, Jonkershoek, and her last home in Onderpapegaaiberg, Stellenbosch. .[4] In 1948 she painted extensively in South West Africa (now Namibia); and in 1953 similarly in Zanzibar and Mombasa, Kenya.[3] A South African 1961 one-cent postage stamp carried a design by Desmond and in the same year she was elected as Fellow of the International Institute of Arts and Letters. She exhibited in all three Quadrennials of South African Art between 1956 and 1964, as well as at the São Paulo Biennale (graphic), Brazil in 1961.[5] She exhibited with the Women's International Art Club and the Royal Institute of Painters,[4] and held solo shows in Johannesburg in 1962 and Pretoria in 1970.[6] Her works are held in the following collections: Oliewenhuis Art Gallery; Iziko South African National Gallery; Durban Art Gallery; Ann Bryant Art Gallery; Hester Rupert Art Museum; Johannesburg Art Gallery; William Humphreys Art Gallery; Tatham Art Gallery; Nelson Mandela Art Museum; Pretoria Art Museum; SABC art collection. In addition, her works were acquired by HM Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother; William Ormsby-Gore, 4th Baron Harlech; and Alfred Beit.
