— unpredictable thoughts

This is Pam Tag­gart. She is one of the most amaz­ing artists I have ever known. She is a small woman whose ever expand­ing inner world explodes onto huge can­vas after huge canvas.

We have been build­ing mates and artist bud­dies for what seems like a life­time. We worked together to cre­ate scom­mu­nity and pro­fes­sion­al­ism. We ate ice cream cake together and she hid birth­day gifts like easter eggs — giv­ing me obscure clues for how to find them.

I will miss pass­ing her stu­dio doors and won­der­ing what fan­tas­tic thing was tak­ing place just out of sight.
