She came to Dallas Calligraphy Guild (Kaligrafos) in the early 80's and I was lucky enough to host her during her stay to teach us. I was struggling with a Xmas card idea...drawing holly. At that time I didn't consider myself an artist. She insisted on going to the downtown library to show me how to research holly. (this was before internet) A few years later, I'd signed up for a workshop at the Zen Center near Jenny. A family emergency happened and I had to withdraw from the class just a week before. Within 2 weeks she had shipped me all the class materials...AND 2 of her prints on nature. Her teaching was wide spread and I loved her slideshow. It ended with her in her younger days, dancing in the flowers. You are so right, she is still living in the art of the many students she impacted. She will be missed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29258841.post-57753518868059615892013-02-13T01:41:43.877-05:002013-02-13T01:41:43.877-05:00This is such good news Susan!This is such good news Susan!Mo Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09004208849028911104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29258841.post-53216417254586435952013-02-11T07:56:23.370-05:002013-02-11T07:56:23.370-05:00Thank you Mo, Cari, and Irene.

My daughter was the one who encouraged me to invest more time in the blog and it has given me the opportunity to write more frequently and to have an audience to communicate with which has led to this writing about being an artist. Also the good reception my talks have gotten. People have commented more on the reflection part than the work itself. <br /><br />Mo the little book is taking shape, different from expected, as most of life is. Just a small little volume of essays called Art Lessons:Reflections From An Artist's Life. I'll be writing more about it soon.Susan Kapuscinski Gaylordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10174952588173490738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29258841.post-30806246114243550032013-02-07T14:03:58.360-05:002013-02-07T14:03:58.360-05:00Susan--

You see, now you are educating about being an artist, with all of its attendant doubts and trials. I believe we all struggle with this. Thank you for sharing it. I too have been going through old correspondence with Jenny for the words of wisdom she shared so willingly with me and so many others.
