Emily Winters PRESENTE! It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that our dear friend and longtime compadre in art and politics Emily Winters left us this morning to be with the ancestors.
She was on the Grass Roots Venice Neighborhood Council and received the most votes in 2004. This is such a sad loss not only for me but for the community. We founded the Venice Arts Council together 20 years ago and founding members of the Venice Japanese American Memorial Monument Committee over 10 years ago.
From several years ago here is channel 4 news coverage of her mural restoration projects. Her murals are in desperate need of repair. We are still waiting to hear from the City of LA to restore her Endangered Species Mural, damage caused by their construction crew.
