"It is never to late to be what u might have been"...George Eliot
One of my favorite quotes, first seen in victoria Magazine 1994.

I am awed by the power of "words".  As a believer in Jesus 
Christ, and accepting Him as my Personal Savior, learning that what we "say "shapes our future.  I remember as a child my father taking us kids to the Carnegie Museum, and all that beautiful Art, touched my heart.   Later after my 5yr Navy enlistment was up, I was with friends in New Orleans.  My friends Great Aunt Gladys Italiano was a gifted artist.  She   was exhibiting there. I admired her work, when she said if you like Art so much you can paint.  Her "words" spun in my head for years.  I worked as a postal employee then I married my husband Ross and we bought Bloxom's Garden Nursery in 1993.  I asked God for the gift of painting.  My painted furniture began to sell there.  In 1999 we bought a 1912 Victorian and Ross began renovations.  I opened my Painted Garden  in May 2000.  I am awed at God"s kindness and goodness to me.   I was fortunate to be in local newspapers, Hampton Roads Magazine, and my dream of being in Victoria Magazine a national magazine was fulfilled in 2010, I also was in Flourish Magazine and had a one woman show at the Trellis Restaurant in Williamsburg Va.  I have met some wonderful folks.  I have  faithful Art Patrons, I am honored to know.  I am looking forward to the future, I know its going to be good because of Jeremiah 29:11.  I am standing on and believing Gods word Psalm 90:17 -that God will continue to Bless the works of my hands....thank you
