Annette Adams Bush - Class of 1963

Good Citizen, Gifted Artist, Lucy's Grandmother:

Augusta, Georgia,
renewed and revitalized.

With a profound sense of community pride,
you endowed Georgia's Garden City
with creativity, insight and
a generous wave of your watercolor brush.
It is now more resplendent and magnificent than ever.

The force behind this amazing transformation?
Your personal conviction that
"Whatever I dare to dream, I can definitely create."

What is often overlooked, you preserve:
the simplicity of a front-porch visit,
the solitude of a Japanese garden,
the untold history of a quiet cemetery.

The world communicates with you
through opulent colors and differential shapes,
in poised symmetry and isolated separation.

Your timeless paintings spill onto the canvas
from the sanguine soul of Southern roots.

A virtuoso committed to education,
nothing is more pleasing to you than
nourishing the next generation of artistic imagination.

Daughters Susan and Kathryn,
legacies of your love and joy,
fill the softest places in your heart,
a heart now overflowing from the smile
of your first grandchild, Lucy.

It is a time to reflect, renew and rejoice!

For the treasures you share with the world,
and with deep admiration,
we honor you
a LaGrange College Outstanding Alumna.
