Mary Poppins or Artist??

This is an absolutely incredible story that hasn't made any major headlines (but should!), about a woman who led a very private life while looking at life with a very keen eye. I sincerely hope we here and see more about this woman and her work in the near future. What little you will learn from this is truly inspiring. Enjoy

Holy Gods, I can't imagine being that naturally talented. My photos look like a child took them compared to hers. I don't know if that makes me want to put down my camera for good or pick it up more often.

Thank you so much for sharing that. She was incredibly talented & the young man who has taken over as curator of her things is amazing. And I think he is doing it for passion, not for money.

Awwww. 'Bushel-basketry' as my mother says, that the light of a fine talent was not seen or appreciated in the artist's lifetime.
There should be a word for sad but happy, that her work is being exhibited.

Thank You for sharing this.

She obviously had an incredible eye for
people and for just the right moment.

It is great that he was able to use the internet to
create the original interest. And that you have
used it to share something so worthwhile.

They said in the video that she was an incredibly private person while she was alive & didn't really wish to share her work with the world. I'm glad that her wishes were honored in her lifetime.
