Auda was a founding member of the Dawson River Art Group.
She was the most delightful person, and everyone who knew her would agree, that she was an incredibly kind, fun loving, talented and adventurous person.
Art Group won't be the same without our Auda but she lives on through her amazing artworks and the art group will honour her legacy by continuing to grow and welcome new members in the same way that Auda did.
Love to John, children and Auda's extended family. We will all cherish the time we had with her.

Our condolences to the family of the late Auda Constance Maclean.
