Her diaries and sketches portray the forests as they have never been viewed before. Her paintings and sketches "could stand without shame in the high company of such masters as Georg Dionysius Ehret and Redoute" (Wilfred Blunt).

'Mee was a talented botanical painter and intrepid traveller. . .an exceptional personality' [Oak Spring Flora].
