Mariette spend many years sharing and creating art with hundreds of Westerly students. I recall her working on portfolios with students going on to art school. She was a very colorful woman and respected by many. Rest in peace Mariette. You made a difference.

I had her as a teacher many years ago. When you get to my age, you've forgotten all but the best teachers and she was one I will always remember. My sincere condolences to her family and friends.

She was a wonderful and quirky and fearless teacher. I think often of how she taught me things I use every day including how to relax and just create. So sorry for your loss.
