My wife Suzanne Clark has had her Bird art in the Gallery for years. Elizabeth was always helpful. Does anyone know what is to become of the gallery??

I was visiting with Elisabeth at the gallery one morning, and one of her featured artists came in with an acrylic he had just finished - "at breakfast", he said. It was still wet: and lovely. We had a little giggle and she took it from him and told him she would get it ready for display. Great gallery !! Even greater gal.

Elizabeth was a strong advocate for artists in Vermont. She was part of Stowe Gallery Alliance and helped make Stowe a destination for fine art. We at West Branch Gallery will miss her visits and conversation about the art world. Elizabeth had a big heart.

We were so terribly sad to hear of Elizabeth's passing. She had recently come into the pharmacy; she told us how happy she was with her new space, that it was full of light. In fact she was the one who brought her special light in the lives of others. May that light stay with her parents and her children and everyone who loved her.

Elizabeth ran her gallery like a business but also like a celebration of the arts, with Openings featuring artists, musicians playing jazz, wine, cheese, and patrons of the arts all happily blending. She was a gifted artist, smart businesswoman, a hard worker, and a fascinating woman who lived many artistic adventures across the country. She spoke often of her children with love and pride. I wish we'd met them. But I'm sure Elizabeth's fine qualities live on in them.
