She was the daughter of Hans Heinrich Karsten (1837–1909) and Ida Susanne Pfützenreuter (1846–1890). She was a sister of architect Heinrich Karsten (1873–1947), painter Ludvig Karsten (1876–1926) and textile artist Titti Karsten (1880–1963). She studied at the Royal Arts and Crafts School (now Oslo National Academy of the Arts) under Herman Major Schirmer. She also studied at the Royal College of Art in London (1898–1900).
