Audrey Lenore Burchell was a talented artist who interrupted her art career to assist her family with the upbringing of her deceased brother's four children on the family farm at Artist Lake, Middle Island.  Audrey worked at the Delano Studios in East Setauket and became their Art Director. After 12 years with the firm, Audrey resigned to join her sister selling real estate with the firm J.C.-A.L. Burchell, Realtors, in East Patchogue. Audrey was a loving, gentle, generous person, she lived to be 101 and passed away on March 19, 2013.  Delano Studios was well known for their decorations of fine china, tiles, glass and one of the first to introduce decorated cookware.  According to some, the studio was torn down in the late 1960's.
