At the early turn of this century (doesn’t that sound like ancient history?), I was interviewing Master Painter Milford Zornes, N.A., for a book we were working on. Suddenly, I noticed my recording equipment wasn’t working. In this new video, I tell about the surprise that came out of that apparent disaster. It’s one of my favorite stories.

August 30, 2022 - 8:57 PMCarolyn your effort and insight to put together this book of trees has special meaning to me and I’m sure countless others. As a dear friend and painting companion of Milford I enjoy his body of work more and more as time passes. Like so many others I believe he was a giant in the link of art history and my work has and always will be influenced by him. Jerry Owens

We just celebrated my mother’s on the 11th–93rd! She called this time the last “adventure” of her life. We should all approach life with the spirit of adventure. Your family certainly has.

I likened it to you and I talking together, having one of our many one-on-one conversations :) I especially enjoyed hearing how this book came about — sometimes when the best laid plans go astray, these are the ones that turn out the most splendid and the most meaningful. I also loved how you told us about researching the binding for the book and then showed us how it was put together using that technique. Thanks for sharing.
