100 Words and a Picture


There are many untold stories behind the art that hangs in our gallery.

I would say, equally as interesting as the art itself.


How about telling your story, its easy and people want to hear it.

"It is said that the number 3 is the number of good fortune. It’s certainly been my lucky number. If you ask me to pick a number, it will be 3. As an artist and designer, I’m naturally drawn to arranging things in 3 and I follow the rule of thirds."
Here are some facts about me:
 
I am fortunate to be one of 3 sisters and I have 3 brothers. I was born on 9/3. I have 3 very wonderful men in my life: Terry Palmer and my two sons (well, I also have a grandson and hope to have at least 2 more!).

I’ve had three, major long term jobs: an International Marketing Manager (for a major fish farm); Ad Manager for a large, family owned Clothing Store (Abdalla’s); and worked as a digital graphics designer for many years alongside of my husband and business partner. I went to 3 schools: Academy of Mercy (St. Martinville, where I grew up on the Bayou Teche), Mt. Carmel Academy graduate (New Iberia) and the University of Southwestern Louisiana (Lafayette - where I now reside). I have lived at 3 different addresses with my husband Terry: Adrienne St, Grace St and now Shipley Drive. I have (3) degrees: Bachelor of Fine Arts/Painting; Bachelor or Applied Arts/Advertising Graphics and a Minor degree in history. I am a member of (3) organizations: The LA Crafts Guild (Master Craftswoman); The Alliance for Metal Clay Arts Worldwide and The LAA (Board Member). 
Here are some interesting fact to further explain my fascination with the number three:

It is referred to as the number of perfection, or completion, Time is divided in three: Past, Present and Future; Birth, Life and Death, Beginning, Middle and End; The first number that forms a geometrical figure, the triangle; Considered the number of harmony, wisdom and understanding; The smallest number that can be used to form a distinguishable pattern in our heads; Repeated throughout the Bible as a symbol of completeness; God’s attributes are 3, omniscience, omnipresence, and omnipotence; On the third day, the earth rose from the water, symbolic of resurrection life; It’s the number of The Holy Trinity of Father, Son and Holy Ghost; 3 Wise Men came to Jesus bearing 3 gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh; It is a sacred number in many religions and in rituals - actions are preformed 3X; The number of Magic. In fairy tales 3 is often the magical number; The 3 large petals of the iris symbolize Faith, Wisdom and Courage and were often placed on scepters of rulers and kings; The Rosetta Stone contains inscriptions in 3 languages; “Third time’s the charm...3 makes company,” and there are 3 primary colors.
