Burg cleaning out the things she collected for those 97 years. She was an award winning seamstress and fashion designer, had a Masters in Art History and taught art and sold paintings for years winning many awards in art shows, decided to use her right brain and taught computer programming to end her career, and was a fearless Mom who always had my back. In retirement she and my Dad built their own beautiful home from the ground up. In the fashion designer category she designed and made her wedding dress and entered a suit she designed in a vogue competition and won a high award. They made a pattern of her suit for which she collected royalties for years. Artistically she worked and taught many media and did pen and ink drawings that looked like photographs. But her love was watercolors and she sold hundreds of paintings, notecards, etc. After a teaching hiatus she determined that she could bump her retirement numbers up by teaching a few more year so she pivoted and taught computer programming. Godspeed Mom! Thanks for being amazing!
