As Associate Publisher and Creative Director she managed a department of designers and art directors for 20 years at Candlewick Press (a company known for its quality books) in Boston MA.

After moving to the Boston area in 1979, she maintained a studio at The Umbrella in Concord MA, took part in many shows and began to sell her work, while also helping to manage their gallery.
