My formal artist training includes Wooster School of Art in Connecticut, Vancouver School of Art, Canada and University of Alaska. Before moving to South Carolina, I ran two advertising agencies and was the Marketing and Advertising Director for a real estate and insurance company in CT. Since remarrying and then moving to South Carolina several years ago, I have plunged back into the fine art world full time. I am a member of SOBA, Art League of Hilton Head Island, and the National Association of Women Artists.
