;Tamara Gerkin ;"Where the spirit does not work with the hand there is no art." ;Leonardo Da Vinci ; ; | ;; ;"When I was a child, I spent hours drawing pictures with ;rusty nails in soil filled gardens. As I drew, I dreamt of a place ;where good is possible, ;where love lasts forever, ;and where pain is only a word. ;I had visions of growing out of my extreme shyness into a beautiful woman ;and accomplished ARTIST. Today, I am a fully-grown woman, ; with the same... ; little girl dreams." ; T.S.Gerkin ; ; | ;;| ; Some days are made for making "Memories." ;
