Keith prints are both rare & expensive, as the number of printed copies was small. During her lifetime, some of her works were acquired by the British Museum, the Musee Guimet in Paris, the National Gallery of Canada, the Honolulu Academy of Arts & by Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. She met Watanabe at an exhibition of her Korean watercolors in 1919. Watanabe asked her permission to produce prints from two of her paintings in the exhibition, which started their collaboration. Significant holdings of Keith's works can be found at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art at the University of Oregon.
