I won a New York State Teaching Fellowship for a PhD and enrolled in the NYU PhD art program .

When I left NYU I began painting. I had a body of work but I had to earn a living so I became a special education teacher.

While I taught I was also an antiques dealer and traveled extensively within the US and to some 50 countries.
