How It Is Framed

Memory and public record are both welcome, but they are not treated as the same kind of evidence.
Established facts are presented plainly.
Interpretive or unresolved material is labeled with care.
Visitors can move from a tribute-first experience into the deeper archive only if they want that depth.

Family Stewardship

This site is intended to honor her life and make the surviving body of work easier to remember, revisit, and share.

Source Visibility

The source library stays public so readers can see what supports the biography, archive pages, and research threads.

Room To Grow

The tribute can deepen over time as more memories, artwork details, and public references are gathered responsibly.
