Artist, Portraitist, Caricaturist
This is pretty much self-explanatory. I have earned an income as an artist on and off since the age of 14. I became seriously involved as an artist in 1990 after moving back to Connecticut from Virginia. I opened numerous studios and earned a living as a freelance graphic artist and a portraitist. While my children were very young I put my studio work on the back burner, however, I am resurrecting a studio, as we speak, in the "Zen Room" of my new home. There will be some works on display in an upcoming portfolio.

Customer Service Manager
I was the Girl Friday for a small business that developed residential properties and subdivisions. I remember working on a Xerox computer using DOS. That was a lifetime ago. This was a great job. I marketed model homes, performed secretarial work - everything but payroll, acquired permits through zoning, schmoozed with business people, vendors, suppliers and county administrators, and was the liason between the homebuyer and the land developer/home builder.
