Scales was a member of the Suffolk Art Club and the Norfolk & Norwich Art Circle and took part in exhibitions at the Royal Academy, Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colour, Royal Institute of Oil Painters and the Paris Salon. For most of her life, her residence was in Monks Eleigh, near Ipswich in Suffolk. London museums hold several of her watercolours.
