Sister Wendy Beckett
I didn't know Sister Wendy was my hero until she died last year. Beckett, a brilliant scholar, turned down an invitation to study at the foot of J.R.R. Tolkien. A religious nun, and fellow art-obsessed fangirl, she was one of my favorite people. I knew I loved her. But it wasn't until she left this mortal coil that I found out how much. After forty years of ardent devotion to art, Sister Wendy died December 28, 2018.
