Following the upheavals of the Russian Revolution, she moved to London in 1920, where she established her studio and remained for the rest of her life. Fedorovitch quickly became an active participant in London's progressive artistic circles, exhibiting with the London Group from 1921 and again throughout the 1920s and early 1930s, and with the Seven & Five Society from 1926 to 1933, becoming a member in 1927 on the recommendation of Jessica Dismorr.
