I remained in Connecticut after my graduation. I majored in Studio Art with an Art Hiistory minor at Marymount College in Tarrytown New York. After graduation I worked for publishing, companies, and in the corporate arena as a graphic designer and illustrator.
I met my husband later in life, at the SoNo Arts Celebration where I organized a mural painting with chalk event with six other professional artists. We married in 2000 at Penfield Pavillion in Fairfield during Bluefish season-all the boats were bobbing on the water while we said our vows.
