A number of her watercolour paintings are in the possession of descendants of her brother. Benjamin also referred to a sister 'evidencing considerable talent as an Artist in oils’ and an oil painting St Francis , lent by her brother to the Hobart Town Art-Treasures exhibitions of 1858 and 1862 as the work of Miss Solly, is attributed to Amelia though two other sisters also painted.
