I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Music and completed my Master’s in Musicology. My thesis consisted of a transcription of the Twelfth Century Mystery Play, “Ordo Prophetarum”. The research was exciting as it included a trip to England, then to Paris where I worked with the original manuscript at the Bibliothèque Nationale, transcribing what appeared to be dots and squiggles into readable western notation.

Working with water color is similar to both my teach-ing and my research experiences. Kindergarten and Junior High? What more could you want as an artist? In the classroom I frequently used visual arts to illustrate musical elements with quick sketches on the blackboard and with theme-designed bulletin boards.

My art studies included work at Montgomery College, Maryland University and New York University. I have studied with artists Lynne Oakes and David Daniels. My aim in art is to allow the piece to speak to and communicate with the viewer as it has with me. I taught music for many years, kindergarten through junior high.

I am a member of the Art League of Germantown, Gaithersburg Fine Arts Asso-ciation, Maryland Federation of Art and the Washington Water Color Association. My work has been shown at Kentlands Mansion, BlackRock Center for the Arts, the Arts Barn, Glenview Mansion and other galleries.
