Constance was born in Erskine, Minnesota and was raised in Superior, Wisconsin. She is a graduate of St Lukes  School of nursing in Duluth, Minnesota.

Connie had dabbled in art on and off for a number of years as her children grew up but did not become serious until the loss of her son in 1989. Art became a form of therapy and in the process a fine appreciation as well as a hunger to do more developed. She has mainly studied fine art portraiture under the tutelage of Frank Covino, master artist from Vermont. Her medium has mainly been in oils. 

Connie has resided in Meeker, Colorado since 1970. She joined the Rangely Arts council in 2007 as a vehicle for art sharing and expansion of exposure to all art forms in Rio Blanco County.
