Special Commission from North Carolina Governor Beverly Perdue |
|||
Governor Perdue wrote Elizabeth, "It is so wonderful that the governors at the Southern Governors'' Association meeting went home carrying a vision of North Carolina. Your paintings are just beautiful and I'm so pleased that I also have one to enjoy." |
In an interview, Elizabeth stated that she was very honored to have been selected and really appreciates the framing work which Charles Heath of Heath Creations, Bryson City, did to enhance the beauty of the paintings. With Charles' help she feels that the attending governors each have a taste of these mountains to take back to their respective states. To view a larger image, simply click on a picture. |
