After graduating from King’s College in Wilkes-Barre, Pa with a Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science, I was employed by Metropolitan Life Insurance Company in Clark Summit, Pa from 1973-1978. I married my husband, Jack Ryan, in 1973. We had two sons and now have four grandsons who live near us now in the Charlottesville/ Waynesboro area. In 1978, I moved to Richmond, VA to work for Dominion Energy (then VEPCO). I worked at Dominion until 2009 in the IT department, working initially as an application developer and retiring from a management position after 32 years of service. After retiring, my husband and I wanted to move closer to family in Charlottesville. We moved to Ruckersville in 2015. Art was always a hobby and my therapy from the stressful IT job. I started with folk art painting and beaded jewelry making. After retiring, I taught myself Quilling, the art of paper coiling.
