A great woman: Estelle Bellomo, Tish & Snooky's mom

NYC Thursday February 21: The acclaimed School of Visual Arts held its annual awards ceremony for the ESTELLE BELLOMO AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN ART THERAPY. Tish & Snooky pose with Suzanne Deisher, the 2013 award recipient. This award was established in 1994 in memory of Estelle Bellomo, founder of the Art Therapy Department at SVA. 

Our beloved Estelle Bellomo, mother of Tish & Snooky and great artist, was the creative genius who named "MANIC PANIC." We are grateful to Estelle for raising two daughters in an artistic environment which supported their ingenuity and encouraged them to live their dreams.
