Deborah Boardman, an inspired artist and dear friend, passed away too soon this past year. We miss her very much, and several of her friends have contributed to a beautiful show at Heaven Gallery, What is the Message.

Participating artists include Deborah, Diane Christiansen, Jackie Kazarian, Paola Cabal, Jin Lee, Edra Soto, Dan Sullivan, Ryan Richey, Howard Fonda, Ellen Rothenberg, Sabina Ott, Laurie Palmer, Jeroen Nelemens, Wendy Mason, and Barbara Koenen. Each artist responded to a work or idea that emanated from Deborah. The exhibition was curated by Jessica Cochran.

In a career spanning nearly 30 years, artist Deborah Boardman developed bodies of work across painting and drawing, installation, writing, environmental sustainability projects and sound/video. An educator, she influenced hundreds of artists, some of whom became her collaborators... As critic Lori Waxman wrote, her recent work has grappled with the unseen and ineffable, articulating “what life looks like in that gracious limbo between life and death.”
