Gilles,

My deepest and most sincere sympathies for your loss. I know your family must feel such sadness, I'm at a loss to know what to say. David and I both extend our condolences to you all.

Guitta's skill, artistry, enthusiasm, and generosity touched me deeply in so many ways, and she truly leaves a worldwide legacy in so many people who learned from her. She was also a very no-nonsense person, with a wry sense of humor that could often make one laugh at the absurdities in life. She could also be very warm and compassionate, as she was with me when I lost both of my parents in 2002. I will always remember her many kindnesses, her humor, and her incredibly beautiful images. And every time one of us renders an image, a tiny bit of Guitta's spirit will be there.

Ars longa, vita brevis. (Cicero)
Life is brief, but art lives forever.

Christie and David
