She taught at Crofton House School for nine years before becoming a founding instructor in drawing and painting at the Vancouver School of Decorative and Applied Arts in 1926. Hoole taught there for eight years. She had a string of solo shows at the Vancouver Art Gallery in 1934, 1936 and 1941, as well as a group show with Mabel Bain and Beatrice Lennie in 1942. Over the course of her career, Hoole developed a reputation as one of the foremost painters of animals in Canada.
