"she believed in art with the passion of a first love"

She believed in art with the passion of a first love, a lifetime spent creating as she pleased.

As the winter weather hardened the outside streets, the lights in her east village studio burned bright.

Through the window, you could see the fever she moved with, a desire to change the way people saw the world.

A desire to create and produce in a season that reaped no harvest. To make something out of nothing, that is who she is.
