Secret Garden – Visions of Venus

I’m so excited to be featured at Tri City’s Fashion Show “Fashion that Heals!” on Saturday, May 17, 2014 at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa.

Proceeds from this upscale fashion show will benefit women’s heart health programs at Tri-City Medical Center. Last year’s second annual event helped fund $350,000 in the latest digital mammography equipment. Since its inception, Tri-City Hospital Foundation has funded over $43 million dollars to support Tri-City Medical Center.

My couture aprons will be on display and my couture dress will be the finale!!

As Mother’s Day approaches us, I am thankful for all my wonderful women friends who continue to love, contribute, support and embrace women of the world. I remember my grandmother, In Tampa, Florida, who created the Women’s Garden Center, in which I would wander around the gardens looking into the pool of reflection as a young child. She had this large wooden gate which adjoined the center that I remember unlocking before we would set upon our journey. A large watering pool were surrounded by lily pads, flowers and garden benches. Many times we would sit, read, contemplate or simply sun. My oil pastel drawing/painting, reflects those memories and reminds me of my own grandmother, mother and her friends.
