V'Ann Cornelius (by Vanessa Gould)

V'Ann was one of the very first people I met in the origami community. She greeted me at the Mingei Masterworks exhibit with excitement, warmth and great enthusiasm. We toured the collection and she shared with me her infectious love for the artwork, piece by piece - careful not to miss a single model. . . She offered funny stories, anecdotes and context about each piece and its creator, exemplifying her incredible devotion to the community and its core principles: sharing, wonderment, and joy.

And as I met more and more people across the US and Europe who knew and loved her, I learned that she had this same infectious effect on everyone she met.

I'd like to extend the thoughts of all of us at Green Fuse Films to her family and friends, far and wide.
