In the week that followed her death, I created a portrait of her as a child, my first paper clay bas-relief. It was born from an idea I’d never had time to pursue. Thank you, mom, for being inventive, creative, frugal and resourceful. And for teaching me what your mother taught you: “Never say can’t.” To my husband, Rick, who is the most supportive, encouraging, loving, kind, honest, helpful and entertaining husband an artist could want. To my son, Geno, and my daughter, Aja, who inspired me to work hard to become my best self. And who are truly my greatest works of art. And to everyone who has liked my work, purchased my art, taken my workshops or given me an encouraging word. Thank you all so very much.
