Kayo has always been a bright spot in my life. I remember overnights at Firefly Farm in the 1950’’s with Carol and the gang in our middle school years. We slept in the cabin near the pool and always had difficulty with the kerosene heater . Later, in the 1970’s, Kayo painted portraits of my daughters Kate and Alice when they were 2 or 3 years old which grace our living room to this day . I remember being in Mrs. B’s studio while Kate and later Alice “sat” for their portraits. Mrs. B entertained us all and captured the character of each daughter. Fifteen or so years ago she painted portraits of my two oldest grandchildren. Those portraits made their to Canada where the family lives. Within the last 10-15 years I would see Mrs. B most summers in Southwest Harbor, Maine where she and family would spend a few weeks. She was always the first to step lively down to the dock at their place to bring breakfast to assorted family and visitors lolling about. Since we were often visiting on a boat the coffee was greatly appreciated. It was in Maine that I first saw how her art had expanded from portraiture to contemporary impressionist landscapes, frequently of the Maine coast. What a brilliant and remarkable woman! It was an honor to know her. Emma

Kayo was a great friend to my mom. I loved her joy and happiness when she was visiting our house. As young boy of 7, I was supposed to sit still for a portrait she was painting of me. That was a challenge ... for both of us! And she was so patient and the picture now hangs in my house (more than 50 years later!). Love and Thanks to Kayo from W. Keen Butcher

Everyone loved Kayo- (her nickname -not mentioned in this tribute.) She was always smiling, friendly and amusing. Her grandmother was a founder of the Garden Club of America so she came from a long line of accomplished women. She touched many lives and I feel privileged to have known her.
