  • Thank you so much Paul. She was about 38 here, from all accounts, a very courageous and independent woman. Apparently she was the oldest woman to fly transatlantic to New York in 1939. She died in Los Angeles in 1957.

    Your great grandmother was a true beauty Jovan. You can see the finese and the fortitude in her expression. You always seem to do the most interesting and intriguing portraits. xoxo
