In Memoriam
Thelma G. Lehmann, a well-known known abstract impressionist artist, collector of African art, former art critic for the Seattle Times, and life-long friend and supporter of Cornish College of the Arts, passed away this November at the age of 91. A philanthropist as well as an artist, Thelma served on many arts and cultural boards and contributed greatly to the Seattle arts community. A wonderful friend of Cornish, Thelma established the Thelma Lehmann Endowed Fund for the Art Department in addition to providing funding for an Artist-in-Residence in the Music Department. Thelma lived her life to the fullest, no holds barred, with a “joie de vivre” unlike any other - her vibrant life and generous contributions to our community will not be forgotten.
