"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
