Emslie was born in London and became proficient at watercolour painting and attended the Royal Academy Schools.[1] She worked in London where she met and married her husband, the painter Alfred Edward Emslie. She exhibited at the Royal Academy, the New Water-Colour Society and the Salon de la Société Nationale from 1888 to 1912.[2] Her miniatures are in various collections, most notably the Victoria and Albert Museum that holds her self-portrait, and the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors & Gravers.[3]

Emslie died in Otford, Kent. Her daughter, Rosalie Emslie, also became a painter.
