After a year at ECU (1948-1949) she left to study at the Ferree School of Art (closed in 1954) in Raleigh where she earned the Diploma in Fine Art in 1953. After graduation she found employment at the Raleigh Times as display advertising account executive. After her marriage in 1954, she was determined to develop a career as an artist.
