Professional Artist
Professor of Literature and Women's Studies

This website reflects the two different careers I have had. In the year 2000, I switched my focus from teaching and writing about literature and women’s studies to creating fine art.

From 1970 until 2000, I was a university professor of twentieth-century literature and women’s studies. I taught for seven years at Rutgers University, for one year at the University of Pittsburgh, and, finally, for twenty-one and a half years at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Virginia.

My published articles on literature and women’s studies and a women’s studies speech are available for reading or downloading from this website.

The 2020 transcript of a four-hour interview with me created for the Rutgers Oral History Archives is linked below my photo here. Also linked is a transcript and video of a 2020 interview for the Veteran Feminists of America Pioneer Histories Project. Following these interviews are two biographical essays about me from Who's Who in America and from Top 100 Registry, so far published in both 2023 and 2024.

I am now a professional artist. In the Art Gallery of this website, you will see photographs of my paintings and drawings. My most recent paintings are arranged by genre; most of the older ones are arranged by topic. Although I continued to do a variety of paintings, my primary love from 2012 through 2017 was creating 40”x32” paintings in my Whimsical Bird Series. In 2018 I began my Birdland Series (each painting 30”x30”). My current goal is to find homes for most of my individual works and a future home for the twenty-four Whimsical Birds and the four or more Birdland paintings that are currently Not for Sale.
