Genie Shenk

I was just recalling seeing an amazing exhibit of dream books at University of Washington several years ago and went to look up the artist, and found this lovely tribute. Her work was so inspiring! As one who also follows her dreams it touched me deeply. My best to her family and friends.

Our sincere condolences to the family. Our family were long time neighbors of The shenk family in Solana Beach. We remember them as very sweet and kind people.

Genie was a fascinating, lovely woman. I loved being her neighbor and miss seeing her. My deep condolences to Carol.
