From 1987 to 1989 I was the Assistant Director of Education and Coordinator of Enrichment Program, Curriculum Connections at the Milwaukee Art Museum. As a result, I was invited to participate in the Smithsonian Institution Outreach Conference, Washington, DC, "Museum Outreach to Wider Audiences," September, 1987 and the Woman to Woman Conference, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, October, 1987. In May, 1998, I was invited to participate in the Eighteenth Annual VIctorian Society,American Victorian Society, Summer School program,Trinity College, Dublin, where it allowed me to continue on my Andrew O'Connor research. 

I also taught the Art History at the Milwaukee Institute of Art & Design, Milwaukee, WI and continued to teach at MIAD, from 1987, 1999.  My background combines a BFA in Art Education, with a minor in Drawing and Painting, and a MA in Art History, both achieved at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee.  At the University of Wisconsin I focused my graduate work on the Irish-America sculptor, Andrew O'Connor (sculptor) and his relationship with Chicago architect, Louis Sullivan.  Fortunately, because my father, Vincent Schofield Wickham studied under O'Connor at the Massachusetts Normal Art School, 1917, now the Massachusetts College of Art and Design, Boston, I was able to work with many original sources. 

My personal interests include keeping in touch with my children and grandchildren. Son, Paul Mollomo, User: Paul Mollomo, was co-author of Vincent Schofield Wickham, his grandfather. My husband, Paul R. Mollomo, Sr. mentors us all.

I was born and grew up in Manhattan, New York City, with my father, Vincent Schofield Wickham, who nurtured my interest in all the arts at a very early age.  I am the third consecutive generation of art educators in the Wickham family.
