Being adopted at age 11 by my Great Aunt Loraine was a
blessing for me in many respects. Not only was I shown a
great deal of love and respect, I was given a new chance at
making a wonderful life. Loraine gave me, among many
other things, a new love and appreciation for roses. Close to
nature and an avid gardener, Loraine started her own roses
from the trimmings she collected during pruning. She could
hardly bring herself to throw any rose trimmings away. No
one in the neighborhood had more beautiful roses or more
abundant, or colorful blooms. Loraine passed away many
years ago but has left her love of roses with me, I am not
nearly as good at growing roses as she, but I have found
great joy in painting them. I cannot think of this lovely
woman who took in a needy child without associating
beautiful roses with her. And so I became a rose artist
and,...... every rose I paint, I dedicate to her.
