Upon retirement, she and her beloved husband John, moved to Davis, West Virginia in Canaan Valley, where she rediscovered and perfected her passion for watercolor, becoming a signature member of the West Virginia Watercolor Society, winning numerous awards and cultivating an international following. Her love of nature drove her artistic inspiration with much of her work focusing on the natural beauty around her. In her own words she expressed “Most of our world is still a thing of wonder and beauty; I want you to see it and enjoy it as I do.” Together Titi and John founded the WVHighlands Artisan Gallery in Davis, West Virginia. They spent 35 years post-retirement in West Virginia before moving to Trappe, Maryland in 2025. She loved spending time with her family and went on numerous family vacations to Mexico.
