Join us at Gallery 1448 for the opening reception of Jo Ulrich: A Life Interrupted.
Ulrich (1956 – 2023) was a force of nature. An unbounded spirit, friend, feminist, truth teller, confronter of bullies, gardener, mother to fairies, animals and all the children she never had, a caregiver for literally anyone in need, a weaver of magic, and an advocate for the underserved. She wielded a sharp wit and abundant creativity.
