It is just impossible for me to grasp that she is gone. I met Barbara Holt as my high school art teacher fifty-five years ago and had the absolute privilege to learn from her for the next three years. I returned much later to student under her. How can it be that her influence lives so powerfully in me still? Her kind and gentle way of inspiring a belief in myself as a person who could offer something to the universe? She opened up a magical world of creativity and the endless realms of art history that I explore every day. I will never forget her because she has always been with me. The most gifted teacher, the most loving and patient soul, my precious B.
