Today I remember my beloved & talented mother - Betty-Jeanne Maheux. She was an artist, a loving wife, a dedicated member of the church and an amazing mom.

She set me down the path of becoming an artist / designer and helped me create my submission portfolio to RIT even though I had no real art training.

She taught art lessons out of our basement when I was a kid and painted many paintings for our church and community. She was beloved by all who knew her.

Happy Mother’s Day, Ma. We miss you.

A painted portrait, my mother did of me when I was only five years old. I’m sitting in a field, looking at some blades of grass with strawberry blonde hair and blue overalls.
