A reproduction of "The Mother" was the frontispiece to the 1893 Century Illustrated Magazine. She painted many portraits for the Union League of Chicago and taught art at the Art Institute of Chicago and at Hull House where Kellogg formed close friendships with its founder, social reformer Jane Addams, and others. In 1894, she married self-taught artist Orno James Tyler. She died in 1900 at age 37.Portrait, Jane Addams--drawing or Portrait, Jane Addams, from a Charcoal Drawing by Alice Kellogg Tyler 1892
