Dear Editor:

Brenda Bettinson’s creative vitality and her extraordinary work (“Seeking the transcendent through her palette,” 3/24) continue to be an inspiration to many who know her. Thank you for giving space to this complex story still unfolding. And thank you also for sending a reporter who is willing to go beyond the superficial to interview Brenda and look at her recent paintings.
