Paul DeSomma talks about Kate Elliott. Oral history interview with Paul DeSomma by Barb Elam, conducted via telephone, October 29, 2020, Bard Graduate Center. Clip length: 00:41.

Paul DeSomma: I believe in the early seventies Kate [Elliott] and Dale [Chihuly] were quite close, she worked on his teams—I think in Rhode Island. I’m not sure when she came west so, again, she was already on the team when I showed up. And Kate was an interim director of Pilchuck while I was there, and Kate also had a very important gallery in Seattle for quite a number of years. She was very close friends with Flora Mace and Joey Kirkpatrick, who I mentioned earlier that I spent a lot of years working with, so I got to know Kate through them as well.
