Lola Priscilla Bartonico, 1926-2006
For over fifty years, she kept her history a secret from her husband and children. She couldn't sleep after the war. Every night, while the rest of the house slept, she rose and painted beautiful murals, using tissue, cardboard and children's tempra paints.
She made beautiful dreamscapes, images of saints and self-portraits where she was worry-free. She didn't want to close her eyes, she told me. She didn't want to dream.
