Not sure what to say?

How clever and imaginative of you to dedicate your life to helping others appreciate the miracle of color!

I was happy to see one more of you paintings at the 2022 SAIC Benefit donation. You taught me Josef Albers in color class 1973, It took me 40 years to attend your beloved, Rupprecht Street at Ox-Bow school of Art, Sagatuck, MI

Just thought of Betsy my drawing teacher at SAIC in 1970. She made such a positive difference in my life. An amazing teacher, so thankful for all she gave me. I draw every day she would love that and not be surprised. She will fit right in in Heaven.

Through Betsy, the art of living lives on!

Just thought of Betsy yesterday, heard her laugh in my thoughts.

She was my favorite teacher at SAIC back in the 80's. I admired her work and her openness to others, sharing her love of art and teaching. I will always remember with fond memories that she often spoke of purple being her favorite color. Have fun painting the clouds Betsy!!!!

Amazing Artist with a great spirit. Many good mem's from time spent at Oxbow

Offering our deepest condolences during this difficult time.
