About Rebecca

My focuses in life have been children and the visual arts. I babysat for neighborhood children from the time I was 10 until I went to college. From '67 to '71 I earned a BA Degree in Education. In '71 I began a position in Baltimore, MD teaching 5th grade for the 4 years that my husband was in dental school. During that time I worked on my MA degree in Education at Johns Hopkins University. We moved to Mass. in '75 and began our family. I had children in '76, '78, '79, '80, and '81. Those were busy years, but I certainly honed my childcare skills! When my youngest started kindergarten I opened a photographic portrait studio. In 2008 I retired to Florida where I began oil and watercolor painting. My proudest accomplishments are my five wonderful children. I'm also proud that I gave people beautiful portraits that they can cherish. I love children and animals. I am very patient, and enjoy engaging children in reading and other learning activities.
