Gene sketched and exhibited with the large art colony in Carmel-by-the Sea, California, and until 1938 periodically rented a cottage there for several months in the summer.After she graduated in 1924 with "honors in art," she briefly studied at the California School of Fine Arts (today’s San Francisco Art Institute), and exhibited her etchings at the California Society of Etchers (today’s California Society of Printmakers) and at the Oakland Art Gallery.She married on May 25, 1925 and honeymooned for two months in the Southwest, her first exposure to that region. That fall she exhibited her etchings of the Bay Area, Carmel and Taos at Gump’s Gallery in San Francisco.
