Hey so, I was offered an opportunity to paint a portrait of Vivette R. Rifkin, a woman who recorded books and textbooks for her blind daughter so as to not allow her disability to hinder her education, for a memorial seminar event coming up at UIC. Close to completion, here she is. Below is the information for the event:

I like the poster, especially the likeness of Vivette Rifkin you painted. But the phrase "where the living learn from the dead" is quite jarring and might be found to be objectionable by the family especially. Wouldn't "Honoring a Life of Meaning" express a kinder sentiment for the woman who whose family is sponsoring the event?
'wherethelivinglearnfromthedead' is the name of my medical illustration blog, which is where I post my current work - the name has nothing to do with the painting. The title of the post is "UIC AHS Inaugural Vivette R. Rifkin Memorial Seminar" so that shouldn't be too jarring.
