This is from the Minnesota Daily (the University of Minnesota's school newspaper), March 13, 2003, in an article by Beth Nawrocki, entitled "Nash Ramblers". I found it online tonight, at

However - I have the original [paper!] newspaper version of it here, saved. :) [I can post photos of that later.]
Here's the bit about her, and her precious words ~
Most artists choose concepts that are abstract and conceptual, but artist Trudy Dubois [DuBois] likes to focus on the simple things. Dubois [DuBois] is a 66-year-old grandmother who decided to return to school because she wanted a renewed relationship with art. She enjoys working with different media, but the majority of her works chosen for exhibition are portraits of her grandchildren. Impressionist painter Mary Cassatt, who found pleasure in the simple things, has influenced DuBois.
"Cassatt painted treasured memories and pictures of common daily things," said DuBois, who also attempts to immortalize precious moments. "It is important to highlight the gifts in our lives when there is so much misery in the world."
You don't have to ask me why I loved this woman (my Mom), right? You probably would have too!!!!
