I first met Constance when I took her book-making course. Because we were both from the midwest and used the cosmos in our work, we formed an instant bond. My art evolved a lot in that class, and I was so grateful she was available to be my advisor thesis semester. Constance pushed me in that final semester to be honest in my work and to not be afraid to use humor. Because I loved her sly smile, my paintings evolved to have a certain wittiness to them. I don't know if I would be the artist I am today without her. Thank you Constance.
