A brief bio from Askari follows:
Barbara Beretich, a force behind the Claremont art scene for more than 50 years, died in her sleep Friday, June 15, surrounded by her art and the animals she loved. She was 82 years old.

Considered by many to be the grande dame of Claremont’s illustrious art and culture community, Ms. Beretich made a significant impact by helping foster not only the appreciation of art but contributing substantially to a regional art movement that some now refer to as the “Claremont School.” She was a noted artist in her own right, creating an extensive body of work in multiple media, most notably sculpture.
