At the annual exhibitions of the Academy, Hüssener regularly presented works from 1828 to 1860. She became known for her portraits of celebrities from aristocracy, art circles, diplomacy and science.

The sculptor Elise Hüssener and the painter Julie Hüssener were her sisters and also worked in Berlin.
