When I was 21, I received a Fulbright Grant to Italy. It was an inspiring and important part of my development as an artist and at age 87, I am still working and exhibiting. In 2016, I created an artist book about memories of my Fulbright year which included text from the State Department letters, my original etchings of Italy, and photos I took at the time. It was a golden year for a young woman, the experience still resonates in me.
