"Audrey was accepted to the Rhode Island School of Design in Providence, R.I. for the incoming class of 1931 and completed three years of work in the graphic design department. Being accepted into such a prestigious program on a full scholarship was quite a feat for a farmer’s daughter during The Great Depression.Audrey, like most women of that time in history, married and raised her children and never returned to complete her studies at the R.I. School of Design and never pursued her professional career goal of being a graphic artist."
