        D. X. ROSS 
        MELBOURNE BEACH 

        D.X. Ross, 55, passed away on Friday, February 8, 2008, in the
        company of her family. She graduated from SUNY at Buffalo with a
        BFA, and received an MFA from Tyler Institute, Temple University,
        Philadelphia. Known primarily as a grisaille enamelist and
        silversmith, her jewelry has been exhibited nationally and
        internationally. Some of her work is in permanent collection at
        Oakland Art Museum, California, and the Renwick Gallery of
        American Art at the Smithsonian, Washington, DC. She was also an
        etcher, lithographer, painter in oils and watercolors, and on
        porcelain. The last few years D.X. worked extensively in clay.
        Her many interests include: gardening, ikebana, knitting,
        reading, swimming, Yoga and Tai Chi. D.X. loved people, she loved
        art, and she loved sharing her knowledge and insight. She tread
        the earth lightly, taking little and giving much. Her art is a
        permanent record of her talent and creativity. Along with the
        legacy of her art, D.X. leaves behind the legacy of her ph
        ilosophy. May the example of her life be a reminder to each of us
        to create beau ty, and appreciate the Magic Spirit of this
        precious life, day by day. May we live with greater kindness to
        one another, the earth and all creatures. D.X. is survived by her
        mother, Alice Graham; sister Xochitl Ross (Charles Nalle); and
        brothers, Mal (Janet) and Lyle Ross. She was predeceased by her
        father, Donald H. Ross, who was the Assistant Commissioner of
        Education for the State of New York. She leaves behind aunts,
        Helen (Joe) Rubino and Dasha (Lynn) Freeman; uncles, Stan ley,
        Joseph (Barbara) and John Zablocki; nieces, a nephew and cousins.
        As she has touched so many people through her art and activities,
        there will be many who join our family in mourning the loss of
        this beautiful, spiritual being. She has been an inspiration to
        all who know her. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to
        Vitas Hospice of Melbourne, or to the foundation to be
        established in D.X.s honor to continue her involve ment in, and
        support of, the Arts. A Celebration of D.X.s life will be held
        Thursday, March 6th, at Spessard Holland Park in Melbourne Beach
        at 5:30 p.m. Brownlie Maxwell Funeral Home in Melbourne is
        serving the family, (321) 723-2345. 

My best,
