I have lived in rural areas close to cities for all of my adult life and have always enjoyed working outside. I have raised vegetables, children, and buildings outside, and I have always made paintings and drawings primarily outside. In 1964 I received a B.A. in Romance Languages from Radcliffe College. In recent decades, I have resumed my study of foreign languages. In 1986, I received a BFA in Painting from MICA, which has led to exciting painting residencies, gallery shows, and the honor of having my work in many collections.
