Ursula Wood trained at St. John's Wood Art School under William Frederick Yeames and Sir Lawrence Alma-Tadema, before entering the Royal Academy Schools. In 1889, during her time as a student at Burlington House, she won the Turner Medal, the first time the honour had ever been awarded to a woman. A superb painter of landscapes, interiors, and especially figures Ursula Wood began exhibiting at the Royal Academy in 1890 and would go on to do so for the next three decades.

Between 1890 and 1922 Ursula Wood exhibited twenty-eight paintings at the Royal Academy and many others at the Society of Women Artists (of which she was a founder member), the Royal Scottish Academy, the Walker Gallery in Liverpool, Whitechapel Gallery, the Glasgow Institute of Fine Arts, and the Victorian Era Exhibition. Today, works by Ursula Wood can be found in the British Museum, the Imperial War Museum, and Manchester Art Gallery.
