an associate, Moorhead as ordinary member up to 1909. Moorhead's first exhibition was a landscape and six other pictures, in the Centennial Exhibition in 1901, with the local press, including the Dundee Advertiser praising her work as among the 'gems of the collection from an artistic point of view.' Her mother died in 1902, and she took over the care for her father from 1908 (after Alice married, with Ethel as a witness) and she often used her father as a model, one titled Brigade Surgeon G. A. Moorhead was described as 'in the way of portraiture.. nothing finer.. a triumph of art' in the Courier, and Moorhead knowing the sitter made a difference, said the Evening Telegraph. The Celtic Annual described her as a 'most refined and distinguished artist' and at her last exhibition with the Dundee Graphic Artists, the pricing for paintings increased.

In 1911, the Dundee branch of the Women's Freedom League congratulated her on becoming Dundee's first tax-resister. Sheriff officers came to take goods in lieu of taxes to be auctioned (a silver candelabra), with Moorhead's supporters waving placards saying "No Vote, No Tax" and making fun of the bidding process.
