Biography

Born, raised and schooled in Basel, Switzerland, where I particularly enjoyed the arts education I was privileged to receive. Spent years studying & working in France, England and Canada.

Was very active in the Feminist movement of Switzerland.

Got married to an American/Canadian and moved to Toronto in 1991.

Worked at the Faculty of Music, University of Toronto, and also, after going back to school, got a degree in Mediaeval Studies from U of T, and went on to Graduate School in Mediaeval History at University of Toronto.

After early retirement, I began classes in Watercolour painting with Moira Clark at Avenue Road Art School in 2009, thereby re-connecting with the arts education of my school days in Basel, long ago.

Took to it “like a duck to water”, and have not stopped painting since.
