She was born in Brooklyn in 1926 and attended Cornell University, where she studied painting, sculpture, and film.

Over the course of her five-decade career, De Hirsch created a vast body of work that was exhibited in the United States and internationally. Her experimental films and videos were especially notable for their innovative use of sound and image, and many of her works explored themes of nature, spirituality, and the human condition. In addition to her film and video work, De Hirsch was also an accomplished painter and sculptor. Her paintings often featured abstract forms and bold colors, and her sculptures were characterized by their organic shapes and use of unconventional materials. Despite her many accomplishments, De Hirsch's work has often been overlooked by mainstream art history. However, her contributions to the fields of experimental film and video, as well as her innovative approaches to painting and sculpture, have had a lasting impact on the art world.
