Born in Nelson,[3] in around 1887 Brusewitz married photographer Henry Elis Leopold Brusewitz, who had been born in Sweden and migrated to New Zealand. The couple lived in Nelson and ran a photographic business there from about 1893.[4][3] They also both exhibited photographs, for example for the opening of the Suter Art Gallery in 1899.[5][3]

She joined the Nelson Camera Club in the mid 1890s and regularly showed in their exhibitions from 1899.[3]

In 1911 Brusewitz moved to Perth, while her husband remained in Nelson where he died 1922. She returned to Nelson in 1919.[3]
