Notes
Artist's daughter has been the keeper of her work since the artist's death. Daughter donated a large number of the artist's pastels and other works two times: a 2016 donation to the Santa Cruz Art League's "Art from the Attics" and a 2017 donation to Stanford University's treasure sale. The person who donated to NUMU must have purchased from one of those two sales.
