Elizabeth Murray

On an August summer afternoon Elizabeth Murray began her next journey. As a female artist, I was fortunate enough to have met her during my college years in my women in the arts class with May Stevens. At that time I was also beginning to raise a family. Her inspiring words on the issues surrounding being both mother and artist were a conversation I have kept with me ever since, as it has given me strength through times of adversity. Learning the news of her passing was a great loss. People come and go in your life and then there are those that leave a mark on your soul. With a simple conversation a mark was left, Thank you, where ever you are.
