Princess Eugénie was active in many forms of art.
Early on, she composed music with her brother Prince Gustaf, Duke of Uppland.
She composed several songs and piano compositions.
As a musician, she often hosted concerts.
She was a good friend of the composer Lotten Edholm.
Her hymn O, at jeg kunde min Jesus prise is set to a Norwegian folk tune and was translated as My heart is longing.

She studied painting and drawing.
As a painter, she is known for her watercolor paintings of life at the royal court.
The images illustrates both every day court life as well as outings, travelling and balls, display a humorous tone and has a similar style as those of Fritz von Dardel.
She is regarded to have had true talent as a painter, but her social position and gender created some difficulty in her attempts to develop her talent, as it was not considered suitable for her to study human male adult anatomy: her mother refused to allow her to study nude models.

Later in life, she supported the efforts of her nephew Prince Eugen, who also became a painter.

She was also active as a sculptor, and a student of J. P. Molin.
Some of her designs were made into porcelain ornaments in Rörstrand and Gustavsberg.
Her mothers refusal to allow her to study human anatomy created difficulties to develop this talent as well.
This was partially solved after an incident described by Fritz von Dardel.
Upon a visit to the princess, he discovered that she was sculpturing a small statue of soldier in clay.
She used the uniform of a soldier as a model, but this was not sufficient, as the legs of the soldiers did not look realistic.
To assist her, Fritz von Dardel modeled his legs for her.
They were interrupted by the queen dowager, who did not approve of a male model.
The statue, however, which depicted a Norwegian pipe blower, turned out well after Dardel had modeled for it, and was made into a porcelain statue at Rörstrand.

The incident of Dardel's modeling for Eugenie also proved benefiting for her development as an artist: after this, her mother allowed her to study the human anatomy of children, who were allowed to model for her.
The perhaps most known piece of art attributed to her is a porcelain figurine of a dog and a child sitting opposite each other, entitled »Kan du inte tala?» ("
Can't You Speak?"),
which was manufactured at Gustavsberg and became a popular ornament.

She also designed an allegory of faith and the apostles of Peter and Paul for her mother's chapel.

Her work was represented at the Stockholm Art Exhibition of 1866.
    
In November 1873, she was induced an honorary member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Arts.

As a writer, Eugenie published the conventional Svenska prinsessor ("Swedish Princesses") in 1864.
She also translated »Korsets skola» (The School of the Cross) by M. F. Roos from German.
One of her friends was the writer Lina Sandell.

Eugenie used the income from her art to finance her charity.
She eventually stopped her art production for health reasons and turned entirely to charity.
