Her first job was at the Worcester Art Museum where she directed the children classes and she continued teaching art to young people during her career. Rig and Mal purchased the Stone House in Princeton in 1960. It became her home where she lived until she passed. It was the center of activity and love for an extended group of family and friends of all ages. Skating, sledding, skiing, swimming and talks under the apple tree are all treasured memories for all who knew her. She was an accomplished artist with watercolors her primary medium. She exhibited and sold her artwork through Priscilla Hartley Gallery in Kennebunkport, Maine and The Francesca Anderson Gallery on Newbury Street in Boston, as well as other venues throughout New England. She was a member of the New England Watercolor Society. Her artwork resides in many private homes and Corporate offices. Other artistic talents included playing the piano and violin, and weaving rag rugs. She was well known for her French bread and Swedish buns and was also a talented seamstress and an avid skier.
