After Ramapo I attended Syracuse and Cleveland Institute of Art studying every avenue of art I could cram in. I moved to Rhode Island and taught art at the middle school level for 35 years, loving every bit of it.
I married my husband, Eirene Chara in 1975. We are living in a big old house that always needs work.
Since retiring 10 years ago I've had more time to pursue my own artwork. I'm an avid art quilter, but also enjoy painting, photography, and many other crafts as well as reading.
