she owned and ran a great art school, after being a teacher there.
she is said to have once walked up to a student's work and offered to lend him her reading glasses.

i've gotten to know her biographer. havent met irl, but have chatted a couple times. i am sure i will hear a lot more of those stories once this plague is over. but i grew up hearing stories about her.
