Gwendolyn Siniard

In 2002, I was young and didn´t have any money. I was on vacation in New Orleans from the PNW and we visited a night market. Ms. Sonora´s was selling her painting and I became enamored with one she called "The Ghost Rider". She was asking $350 for it and I couldn´t afford it. I offered $150 and she said "no".

Crushed!!! I have so many of Gwen's paintings, her art fills my house. Beautiful art just like her beautiful soul! I can't believe she is gone! I wanted to see her today and in my prior years here and searched every where for her but no one would tell me the heartbreaking truth. She was never the same after Hurricane Katrina, if I only knew when she was laid to rest. Oh how this wonderful beautiful soul enlightenment me! You will live forever in my heart!

So sad your immense talent was never recognised. Gwendolyn was a dear friend and a wonderful person. Eve. Florida
