Not sure what to say?

Always a bright light, fashionable and exuberant.
A true gift to the world.

Mrs. Calloway was such an inspiring person. She used my daughter as a model for the little girl in the rainbow dress in her "Hope St." presentation. It was very exciting to see this at the Oakland Museum. She saw my daughter at church and asked for pictures of her in the dress and that's how that came about. I enjoy viewing her prints everyday on my wall. So sorry to here of her passing.

A great artist and huge inspiration for her students and everyone who knew her at San Francisco State University. Thanks Marie for everything.
