This young woman passed away more than 10 years ago, while still in college, in a cycling accident. At the time, the loss was almost unbearable to her family and her friends

Last year, Audrey’s sister posted this remembrance:

It's been ten years since my sister died in a cycling accident. She was brilliant (in every sense of the word), wonderfully weird, witty, kind, generous and had the most infectious laugh I've ever heard. She loved to tell jokes and then laugh before you had enough time to get them, so really you were just laughing because it was impossible not to laugh with her.

It seems to me that, at the time of the accident, Audrey was just coming into her own; rebellious yet caring, discovering her love of color, art, music, love and laughter. A life with such promising, vital and unique beginnings … interrupted and unfinished.

This is my portrait of the bold, brilliant, and beautiful Audrey, with the painting purposely and permanently left unfinished.
