I miss her deeply but I am gratefu l(being an only child) for our times together. Memories of Ann bring her back every day so often in a new way. I miss you, Ann.

Ann was a friend and mentor to so many of us artists entering the Torpedo Factory, trying to figure things out and find our way. Her studio was just down the hall from mine, and we talked often in one place or the other sharing laughter, sadness and outrage on the political scene. She was a founding member of the Jury Committee in the mid 90s under Director Marge Alderson and was a force for fairness and inclusion into the Factory. I always knew I had a friend a few studios away.
