Tribute to a great artist

I don’t know her..I had gone to a local painting exhibition in a school 15 min before closing..met this lovely lady, liked her work and bought it in an instant.(the picture above)

She made all her paintings from gluing together different colored paper napkins! nothing else..no paint nothing.

It is very sad that she passed away 3 weeks back, just came to know about it yesterday from a friend.

She was truly a great artist and I am glad that I had bought her amazing work….and she was soooo happy about it.

    Great tribute for a fellow artist. She was part of the family even though she wasn’t on RB. Thanks for sharing this with us.
