She exhibited at the Portland Art Museum and the Seattle Art Museum and was a charter member of the Oregon Society of Artists. Her husband, Floyd Wilson, accompanied her on a move to New York City. Gilbert's entry in a Portland Art Museum exhibit of contemporary American painters in 1929 occurred after their move east.
