Walter Thompson, in Boston at Hill, Holliday, and in Connecticut in publishing. She studied at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School of Art & Journalism, receiving a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Magna cum Laude, and with Benton Spruance in Philadelphia, PA.  Her pieces now hang in many private and corporate collections.
