KRAFTOWITZ: Abby Kraftowitz died on Jan. 8, 2020 at the age of 33, after a long battle with cancer. During her life, Abby brought her boundless spirit, courage, and sense of adventure to places all over the country and around the world.

As a group of fellow artists wrote to her: “You are sun and moon and starlight. You are carried in the warmest parts of our hearts. We will honor you every time we are brave, chase dreams, love fiercely, live as art, because your example inspires us.” Abby is survived by her parents, Janice Gordon and Robert Kraftowitz, her sister Laura Kraftowitz, her grandmother Ida Gordon, her uncles, aunts and cousins, and innumerable friends.
