Fourth of July

 

 

 

 

by Marilyn Peraza      

With the 4th of July comes much celebration.  Most of the celebrating is done in honor of our independence, our freedom, and the many rights we claim as citizens of a free country.  A country made up of those before us who fought for what we now have, and those who continue to fight to keep it.  But we sometimes take for granted the simplest rights and freedoms we have, not only as Americans, but individually, as human beings throughout the world. 

I have been blessed and deeply touched by the expression of love shown by these artists.  I can call these artists my friends, and more than that, they have also become my personal heroes.  I want to celebrate each one of them this 4th of July.

I apologize as I do not have photos of everything that was offered and donated.  If I missed you, please send me an email so I can add your picture and name to the list - you were not left out intentionally!

When you look at the names of the artists below, and then you look at the artwork of these talented artists, you will see the loving, compassionate people who have joined together to help rebuild the independence and freedoms of one whose rights have been violated.  They offered support and gave the strength to stand tall again without feeling ashamed, and they provided encouragement to move forward, giving of themselves unselfishly.

This July 2007, Featured Artist Page is dedicated to the following artists:

 Vonna, Lydia, Deborah,  Priss, Bea, Christiane, Kathy, Connie, Kim, Nicole, Kathy P, Bethany, Sally Ann, Anastasia, Marie, Linda C, Di, Deborah A, Marilyn,  Pam, Mirella, Leslie, Luna Moon Shadow, Bindy, Teague, Angie, Chad, Andrea, Kandice, Lorna, Robin, Phoenix Art Supplies,  Deborah M, Elizabeth, Terri, Beadaholic, Anja, Debi, Mary, Laura, Ellen, Oops, Gwacie, Kalera, Judy, Barb, Amy, Bonnie, Anna, Diane, Jana, all the artists at TAM, everyone else who donated whether by sending beads, glass, jewelry or other, and everyone who offered up prayers.
