She remained there except when she studied at the CCAC where she earned a master's degree and three months of travel and study in Europe. A fire at the school in 1961 destroyed most of her early work. Primarily a watercolorist, she also worked in oil, casein, and charcoal. She died at Mount St Mary's on May 14, 1986.
