Hipkins was the daughter of Jane Souter (née Black) and the musicologist Alfred James Hipkins.[2] In the 1890s she painted two paintings that are now in national collections. One is in the collection of the Royal College of Music and a portrait of her father is in the National Portrait Gallery in London.[3] She exhibited at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1883, 1884, 1897 and 1898.[4]

In 1937 she published a book entitled How Chopin Played ... based on the notebooks of her late father.[5][6]
