Storyteller's Journey

  
    The Arts are Important!

Last year our wonderful city opened a state of the art four-story library -
I visit it at least once a week!
Now, our cultured community is looking to transform a military hospital, that was built over a century ago, into a center for the Arts - including a space for a museum and an art gallery.
While my husband and I continue to pursue our passions, of painting and writing, respectively, we have now been recruited into the effort for this wonderful project to benefit the culture of our community. (If you're familiar with the Torpedo Factory in Alexandria, Virginia, that's the direction the community planners are hoping to go!)

If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.  John F. Kennedy
