In 1967 opened Under the Sun, a consignment arts & crafts shop under the Woods Hole Inn. Early 1970's was Lab Assistant at WHOI in Biology, Chemistry, Physical Oceanography, Graphic Arts & Secretary at Neil Brown Instrument Systems in Falmouth. In 1975 reopened Under the Sun shop in the former Congregational Church next to the Woods Hole Post Office.

Over the years the shop has evolved into a gallery boutique. My residence & art studio are above the shop which is my happy place where the many artsy craftsy products I create are in the works.
