Don't you love it when you have friends that have talent oozing out of their very pores? I am fortunate to have this with lots of my friends (
I keep hoping to "catch" some of it). I find all kinds of creative inspiration from their friendships, but probably none more than my friend
Gloria Turner. She and her husband, Sonny, were the neighbors who welcomed us with open arms when we bought our first house. They were the very 1st people to babysit our first born. Gloria made our daughter's nursery just magical with a wall sized, hand painted mural that coordinated with the bedding. She is an amazingly talented artist and I think she captures just the essence of the South that I love.
We are fortunate to have a Gloria Turner hanging in our living room of our beloved Sullivan's Island, SC.

I am hoping to be able to have her do a painting of my three children before they are all grown. |
Don't you just love her work?
I knew when she got her web page up and rolling I would just have to share!
Please check out her new web page to see more
She does originals, prints and beautiful note cards and accessories as well as teaching classes and workshops in her studio.
