Artists

Words as Legacy honors the life and work of Diane Granat Yalowitz and Brendan Ogg. Both were gifted writers. Both lost their lives to brain cancer. And both lived in the same community of friends.

Francie Hester

Francie Hester
Hester’s professional artwork has garnered praise from curators and critics. She has engaged her community in small and large-scale projects using words as legacy. By connecting the words of a beloved journalist and a young poet who passed away to the community they lived in, she created works that turned loss into memory and memory into dialogue.
