Many of her themes stem from her travels throughout France and in Morocco, Mexico, Germany, Spain and the United States. Her work was shown in galleries in Toulouse from 1945 to 1969, including at the Gallery Taur in 1960, 1963 and 1968, and the Gallery Chappe in 1961 and 1967. In 1970, her work was displayed at the Musee des Augustins. Aspe painted children, street scenes, landscapes, still lives and seascapes. Her work is included in the Musee Toulouse Lautrec, Chateau de Sceaux, and the Museum of Grenoble.
