2) She enjoyed painting and drawing as a young child and thought "I might do something in art, not for fame or achievement, but out of a romantic inclination to beautiful things.
3) She studied art under Hans Hofmann and in 1947 earned her bachelor's degree at Brooklyn College. She received her master's degree in 1948 where art historian Meyer Schapiro was one of her teachers.
4) As the result of Hofmann's influence she first made abstract expressionist paintings. Then, influenced by artist Pierre Bonnard, she settled into a "softly brushed, meditative lyric" paintings.
5) In the 1950s she became part of an informal circle of writers and artists called the New York School. She was a catalytic and consequential presence. She served as a muse for a group of poets.
