"The committee is delighted with the selection of Ms. Fornell's painting," said Roberta Freer, Red Cross tour organizer. "It captures the charm representative of the homes and gardens of the Old Village."
"I have lived in Charleston for the last 25 years with my husband and two children. After raising our children here, I began pursuing my true passion of painting and have been able to devote more time to further my artistic growth. The charm and beauty of the Lowcountry continuously inspires me and provides an endless range of painting opportunities." said Fornell. "I feel truly blessed to live in such a wonderful place."
The Old Village Home Garden and Art Tour will be held Sunday afternoon, April 22 from 1 to 5 p.m. in the Old Village of Mount Pleasant. For more information please visit www.LowcountryRedCross or contact Roberta Freer, FreerR@usa.redcross.org or 843-764-2323 x 386.
