Whyte was a painter, etcher, and wood-carver who studied at the National Gallery School from 1890–1895[1] and together with Dora Wilson and Jessie Traill took lessons in etching from John Mather.[2] Their etchings were published in The Lone Hand in 1907 as some of the earliest works in this field made by women.[2] Whyte was an impressionist artist who painted portraits, figure studies, and landscapes,[3] and was one of the first Melbourne women to paint dockyard scenes.[1] She also painted interiors and flowers, and worked with oils, watercolours, and pastels.[3] Her cityscapes contained charming observations of Melbourne life.[1] Whyte showed with the Melbourne Society of Women Painters and Sculptors in the 1920s.[4]
As part of a first wave of feminist artists in Melbourne,[1] Whyte presented a paper at women's cultural group the Austral Salon along with Violet Teague in August 1907.[5] While a copy of her lecture was not archived it is said she discussed the struggle for Australian women artists to get recognition.[5]
