Born into an artistic family with Sir Lawrence Alma tadema her uncle by marriage. Gosse got her art training first at the St. John's Wood Art School and then at the Royal Academy of Art (1906–09).
In 1908, the artist Walter Sickert was impressed by her talent and decided she should learn etching.
Gosse eventually took over responsibility for running this school, which became known as Rowlandson House (alternatively, the Sickert and Gosse School of Painting and Etching).
Her works are represented in the national collection at the Tate, Ashmolean, National Portrait gallery and the Ingram Collection of Modern British Art,
Sickert's influence shows both in Gosse's brushy style and in her subject matter, which leans towards domestic interiors, street scenes, and London night life.
