She studied at the Rhode Island School of Design before traveling to Europe, where she learned printmaking under the tutelage of Charles H. Woodbury. Initially working in black and white, Gardiner found inspiration in the color woodcuts of Arthur Wesley Dow and swiftly became known as a color printmaker. She largely worked in the woodblock and linocut mediums, however she did produce a handful of color lithographs in the 1930s. Her work was exhibited extensively in the 1920s and 30s, and she had her first solo exhibition in 1922 at Goodspeed's Book Shop in Boston. In addition to producing and selling art, Gardiner also served as an art teacher at the Rhode Island School of Design for three decades.
