Page & Co, Houghton Mifflin, and Little, Brown.[5] She developed a style that distinguished her from other female contemporaries, such as Sarah Wyman Whitman and Margaret Neilson Armstrong. She illustrated books with figurative compositions that occupied the entire front instead of typical ornamental patterns. Domestic publishers used her designs several times for different books. Sacker won a bronze medal in 1901 for her book covers at the Pan-American Exposition in Buffalo and a medal in 1930 for her book plates at the Boston Tercentenary Fine Arts and Crafts Exhibition.[2] Beyond book design Sacker applied her artistic skills to a wide range of other arts, including, illustrations, paintings, jewelry, basketry, leatherworking, portraiture, and greeting cards.[5][6] In 1899, Sacker was elected a master craftsman as a designer, illustrator, and leather worker in the Society of Arts and Crafts.[2] Through her work in this institution, Sacker met several of the leading women artists of the day, including Sarah Wyman Whitman and Marion Peabody.[5] She gave instruction at Simmons College, made study tours to Europe and took part in several exhibitions across the USA. Together with her former teachers Walker and Smith Sacker served on the jury for a Boston exhibition in 1912. Sacker ended finally in the mid-1940s her work with her namesake school to focus on projects for the Red Cross.
