Trained in British neoclassical tradition, Manley became a major figure in Jamaican art, with her work forming an important part of the National Gallery of Jamaica's permanent collection. Edna Manley was also an early supporter of art education in Jamaica, having both organised and taught art classes at the Junior Centre of the Institute of Jamaica throughout the 1940's."
