I have been blessed to have many sweet and loving cheerleaders along this journey. My constants have always been my husband and daughter and son-in-law and my darling grandsons. Even when they couldn't "see" it they have always been my biggest supporters and fans! Another constant in my journey has been a wonderful friend and confidant, Charidy Stanley. She is the first who approached me to do a project for her, and has boosted me so many times with her faith in me and her genuine love for my work. This was her first request, my first commissioned painting and I was scared to death it was going to be a huge flop. She finally convinced me that she was thrilled with it and gave me my wings! Forever grateful for her faith in me!
