She is a professional artist and art educator with an extensive resume of training and experience including major commissions and installations. Her artistic education began at the age of seven, when she was taught by her grandfather, the late artist Jaro Hilbert. From him, she received a thorough education in the classical tradition. She pursued her formal education at the National Fine Art Academy of Paris, France, (ENSBA), was an artist in residence in Copenhagen, studied German Expressionism in Berlin, and traveled extensively to paint and study around Europe and abroad. At the Art Students League of New York, she received a Merit Scholarship to master portraiture in painting and completed a Certificate in Sculpture. She was selected for “Model to Monument”, a sculpture program at The Academy of Art, Newington Cropsey Foundation, Hastings on Hudson, NY and received an Edward G. McDowell Travel Grant from the Art Students League of New York. Of her many public and private commissions, some are permanent installations. “Talma”, a 7-foot bronze sculpture is installed in the public square of the Theatre of the Valley of L’Yerres, in Brunoy, France.

In 1922, Rainer Maria Rilke created a poetic masterpiece in a cycle of fifty-five poems dedicated to Orpheus, the god-like figure of ancient legends whose song enchanted the creatures, faced the anguish of loss, and sought to restore harmony to a disordered world. Rilke meant these poems to do the same for us: they invite us to turn from the hurried world of “acting without vision,” reminding us how we might inhabit our own lives with spaciousness and hope. This course will focus primarily on these poems, drawing on a newly published version by the workshop leader. It is meant for those who “desire the change,” as Rilke put it in one of these poems. Open to all—beginners and seasoned readers of Rilke—regardless of familiarity with the poet’s work.
