My life has taken some turns, and it's hard to find a point to plug into to tell the story. I earned a masters degree in sculpture from Hunter College and lived many years in New York City. I worked various jobs to support myself as an artist, picking orders in a hardware warehouse, as a building superintendent, a postal worker, a proof reader for McGraw Hill and Dell, an adjunct professor; all the while trying to make it in the New York art world. At 40, as a 'temp' secretary from an agency I was sent to the Wall Street firm Smith Barney, Harris Upham. Over the years, in a series of takeovers, mergers and consolidations I rose with the tide to become a vice president at Citigroup, all the while making and showing my art and writing poetry. My work appears in numerous public and private collections, including The Butler Institute of American Art.

I now live in the Adirondack Mountains in northern New York State, just south of the Canadian border. I've survived three marriages and three divorces. I have a son, two grandchildren and four stepchildren. I live alone and continue to make art and write poetry. Most recently after six years of retirement, Citigroup called to ask if I'd come back to work as a consultant. I work from home, and this go-around the view from the window is of a meadow surrounded by pine forest and mountains and the many wonders and problems of living close to Nature.

It's been an interesting journey, and until I sat down to write this bio I had not really pasted together a montage of my life. I've come to feel I actually accomplished something. I had the opportunity to read some of our fellow classmates; bios as we put this reunion together, and I realize how much we have all accomplished over the years.
