sketchbook Peepshow:
A Seating at Loss'es Table Once More.
WE ARE AT A LOSS...
We are at a loss contrasted by the many ways that Rae Louise Hayward was such a Blessing to all of us.
Personally, I considered Rae Louise my Art Angel, mentor, patron, cheerleader, and sister in kind.
but i suspect my name could be substituted for any one that Rae's Aura encountered .
Rae Louise not only a PATRON OF THE ARTS, BUT created and moved her own colorful ART throughout the world.
SHE WAS TANGIBLE PROOF to Myself and others as MENTOR , that it was possible not only be a creative person, but part of a larger community.
RAE LOUISE WAS an ADVOCATE for other artists to generate their own presence, to find their authentic voice through creative expression, and share their art with the world.
As a VISIONARY, &CO-FOUNDER of the Art of Living Black she continued this legacy, and successfully held TAOLB together enabling it to flourish and to ultimately become one of our country's major exhibitions of African American Art. She welcomed the diversity of emerging, mid-career, and well established artists.
She had a vision of completion that often required more effort on her part than those who stood to benefit from it.
She not only made the first and second phone calls to wrangle and promote, but also the 3rd& 4th calls necessary.
(Rae Louise was the only person i knew who mastered pac bell's phone tree message center!)
By enlisting us as volunteers and participants, she not only gave us a sense of community for our common cause, but also provided us with resources, encouragement, and the positive spirit necessary to evolve into the best we can be as creative community.
Yes, we feel we are at a great loss,
But our Art Angel gave us all the tools we needed while she was physically here on earth with us to thrive.
Rae Louise,
We Love you and are forever grateful and appreciative of our Blessing in you.
