This biography from the Archives of AskART:
| | A native of New York and then a resident of Kansas and New Mexico, she is noted for her panoramic watercolor landscapes. She graduated from the High School of Music and Art in New York City and earned a degree in Art History and Oriental Studies at Barnard College. Her successful career began in Kansas, where she lived with her husband. In 1970, she was one of the first recipients of an artist-in-residence grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, which enabled her to "buy the first really good paintbrushes she ever owned." When she first visited New Mexico with her husband, she was prepared to dislike it, but was immediately captivated and in the 1980s, as a widow, moved to Chimayo, north of Santa Fe. For each of her large paintings, she spends about a week planning the composition. She stretches her work across an 80-inch long hollow door, applying watercolor to a flat surface. |
