Beloved Leon "Bub"
this exhibit is inspirational! Everyone at IMA is feeling lucky to be surrounded by such talented students and faculty. Speaking of talented people, thanks to everyone who came by our booth at SAMA it was great to see old friends and meet new people.

This month has also been marked by the passing of a very speical friend at IMA. Leon aka Bub, constant companion to IMA founder Laurel True, and a charming presence in the halls of IMA. See below for more about our friend.

Exhibit at IMA
Bub, so long to a very special friend. Bub was known and loved by many of the students, faculty and visitors of IMA. He loved making new friends, especially ones bearing tasty snacks. He also loved lying in the sun, long naps, walks and being part of the friendly atmosphere at IMA. Bub will be sorely missed, he was 14 when he past and now rests in a lovely garden in Sonoma. Our hearts go out to Laurel and all of Bubs close friends at IMA.
