So cool about grandmother and great aunt! I love that they made space for each other by agreeing to take on different but complementary art mediums. Fantastic story!

I joined recently and was going back through some of the earlier postings - My grandmother was named Elsie and her sister (although not a twin) was named Evelyn. What a sweet story. So much talent in your family. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on the creation of the scholarship program - what a beautiful way to honor their memory.

What an impressive and inspiring story. It reads as a novel. And the photo of them as girls is so sweet, their personalities pushing through the lens.

I already knew about the history of your grandmother and aunt, it’s really touching but the fund to honor their names and help young artists created by your parents is a new to me :) so amazing!!! The world needs more people with good heart. Thank you for sharing a bit of your family history with us. Good weekend Sam!

Thank you for sharing this fabulous story. Maybe my granddaughter, Samantha Shuflit, can apply for that scholarship in 3 years! She has a similar heritage with a great grandmother who was a fine artist. And we have good friends who still live in Amagasset. I hope they knew her. I’m asking today. I love this whole story. Thank you so much for sharing it! Good for your Mom. It’s got me thinking. Michele

Thank you so much for sharing about your family's history, your grandmother and great aunt's art is lovely. I would like to see more. They would be so proud of how you are continuing the art, and helping others to learn and benefit from sharing more beauty in the world.
