Connie Bloom, artist, writer and friend, died today, Monday, August 29, 2016.

“If someone should ever make a Memorial piece in Connie Bloom’s honor it would have to say that this is one grateful woman. She gives gratitude for all she has got, her job, her studio, her creativity, her happiness . . .

                  ‘This came to me, it fell out of the sky.’ ”
