Rosemarie Philomena Sebek lives in her hometown of Vienna. After studying at the University of World Trade and starting her career as an advertising copywriter, she initially worked as a business journalist. Through her marriage to the painter and free jazz musician (Masters of Unorthodox Jazz) Claus Mayrhofer Barabbas, she had a particularly close relationship with the Viennese art scene in the 1960s and early 1970s. In addition to her family and professional duties, she painted pictures and took part in numerous exhibitions. In the late 1970s, she was one of the first organic farmers in Lower Austria, raising dairy sheep and producing sheep's cheese. In 1985, she returned to Vienna and became the first woman to become editor-in-chief and deputy editor-in-chief of the technical and scientific journal "e & i Elektrotechnik und Informationstechnik". After ending her professional career in 2000, she worked as a freelance author.
