Description
To UC Santa Barbara, BA Spanish Lit, ‘67. Upon graduation, I moved to Spain. My first job, in Madrid, translating aeronautics correspondence, was the beginning of a secretarial career that spanned three continents and took a decade to shake off.
During which time: I married twice, divorced twice, had a daughter then a son, earned an MA Education, Harvard ’75, and began a teaching career in Brazil then Colombia.
Followed by a three-year stint in Silicon Valley, as a technical writer travelling between army posts throughout the country. I moved to Alaska in 1980. painted souvenirs. In 1982 I moved to Colorado where I did pastel portraiture and sidewalk caricature (as well as my all-day every day job teaching English at a wilderness boarding high school.)
