Jeanne is a recovering academic who has always been involved in the arts. For seven years she studied piano and theory at Juilliard and violin at Mannes. After majoring in art history and English literature at Barnard College, and receiving her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan, for years Jeanne was a professor of art history at Hunter College, Finch College, The University of Tennessee and, most recently, The Pennsylvania State University where she taught seventeenth century painting in Italy, France, and Spain with a focus on her signature city of Naples. She was a recipient of numerous scholarly awards including a Fulbright to Rome. Her publications are primarily in the field of European Baroque or Modern American painting but since she had always attended and loved the theatre, she decided recently to write a play. One effort led quickly to another and within three years she had produced eight. Jeanne appreciates the support she has received from actor husband, Richard James Porter, also a former art historian and gallery director, who is currently on stage in Manhattan and elsewhere. To put it another way, for Jeanne the theatre is Act III.view less
