Reutlinger Community - Lucy Danzig - It Looks Like Rain - 2019Description
Lucy Danzig (with Ophelia Gow)
“It Looks Like Rain”
The Reutlinger Community
Lucy, who had never done art before coming to Reutlinger three years ago, is proud of the partnership she and her friend and caregiver Ofelia Gow have formed to create her art. "In our process," she says, "we discuss design and draw the images and then with Ofelia guiding my hand, together we paint."
Born in 1937 in Brooklyn, New York, Lucy moved to Los Angeles at the age of nine, where she later met her husband Bill in junior college. She supported him through dental school at NYU, working as an executive secretary, but made him promise to return to California to raise their children. They had three girls---Dana, Susan, and Wendy—and now three grandchildren, and one great grandchild. Lucy cherishes her memory of taking the family on a Caribbean cruise on their 50th anniversary.
Lucy describes herself as an "up" person, with a lot of patience, a quality which proved invaluable through many years of helping her husband recover from a serious biking accident in 1999.
Now, besides stealing away to the art room, even when her teacher Betty Rothaus isn't there, Lucy enjoys playing poker, bingo and pokino.
