Barbiers learned to paint from her parents, who both painted. Like her mother, she mainly painted flower and fruit still lifes.

However, she also did lithography. She signed her work as 'M.G. de Goeje Barbiers'.Barbiers in turn taught Elisabeth Johanna Koning, who would become known as a still life painter.
