A resident of the Washington area since then, she studied architecture at Catholic University, gaining her first exposure to the local arts scene working with at Walter Hopps Washington Gallery of Modern Art. She started painting in 1970 and studied later at the Corcoran School of Art. Her paintings have been exhibited nationally in juried and invitational shows.
