“The Passing of The Torch”…
What a week-end in P.T. this lovely first week-end in September 2009!
The Leader became it’s young 20!… Andy Mackie filled the air and the hearts with music… and, Artisans-On-Taylor starts its new page!
Around Teresa Verraes-Landis, all is full hearts and big smiles!
Her own sparks, have brought the spot-light on many new, interesting and VERY talented talents.
For these past brilliant years, Rachel -magnificent photographer in her own right, has been Teresa’s right hand!
With the same charm and sense of humor that she “does her hair” for the camera -plus her wisdom and common sense, she has brought in friends -and business- to Artisans On Taylor…
Ubiquitous Laura Lee helps here and there,-wherever smarts do the trick!
Few more powerful inspiring examples of Port Townsend women than Michelle Sandoval -magnificent human being, splendid Real Estate business woman, and Mayor of our City; and Teresa Verraes-Landis. creatress of what we have come to know as one of our most intriguing and fully fledged galleries: “Artisans On Taylor”.
Friends with artists of all specialties, it is not surprising to see Teresa enjoying conversation with a splendid poetess: Bonnie Greenley
To this so special scene comes a very special person, Anna – Who “dreamed this gallery”… and a few years after, has bought it from Teresa!…”A dream come true”…says Anna with a joyful smile…
They both share this love for art and beautiful creations…
They both believe in the inexhaustible talent of our local artists and artisans -as reflected in the name of the gallery itself…
Soul-sisters who are definitely committed to Art, service and community…
During “Gallery Walk”, this past Saturday, September, 5th, 2009, many of us shared this official “passing of the Torch” in between Teresa and Ann – and one shares the feeling of a Precious friendship while around them…Welcome, Anna, to your dream; so that it may be the ground for the realization of the dreams of many others-within yours ; )
Theresa, we know you’ll grow more powerful wings, yet, to protect and promote Art and Artists galore!
No heart, no brains and no arms would be better to hold and see them grow to their best expression!
Portland will be richer with your presence -and, of course, you have here sooo many loving homes looking forward to your news -and visits!
Always love, light and laughter;
Leticia Huber : )
