Sheree

McKinley Wood

Donna and Ken McCulloch,
 patrons who bought etchings from me when I had no money, and when they had little money. Both beautiful people who believed and lived the arts, in all forms. 

  Francie Botke, 
good friend a kind soul,  artistic genius and certified Mensa genius. I miss you.

  Frederick Grüe,  
artistic genius - better than Leonardo or anyone else who ever lived  in  painting still life. He taught me well.

  Michael Maynez, 
who loved my art, who was a gifted actor. The City of Ventura never appreciated him.  An unsung visionary actor.

  Margaret Soo Hoo, 
who had the best Chinese Restaurant in historic downtown Ventura. She would feed the hungry for nothing everyday in the back of her restaurant. A fine woman. 
She died at age 57, just days after retirement.

  Zane Edward Miller, MD, 
my father, who died like he lived- a man who had no fear of death-who transmitted the gift of life to me and my genetic talent. Exceptional.

  Uncle Anthony 
(my middle name is from him)

  Aunt Roma 
 Italian all the way.

Uncle Irv
 Jewish all the way.

  Uncle Fran
the family never did tell me you died or where you are buried.

  Blackie the Cat, 
killed on Halloween in front of my house by a hit an run driver on deadly Boothill Drive  while I was in the hospital recovering from my accident in 2003.

 Petty, Morsie, Davey, 
Mr. Head, Widey,
 Finn, Mr. Ugly,
SunRising Koi, 
Bluebird
