* Special Thanks goes to the Henderson and Haywood Counties Arts Councils as well as the Tryon Fine Arts Center for awarding Kimberly Webber Young/ Maw Bear with a Regional Artists' Grant for 2008; enabling her to paint 160 more paintings. Each piece they have funded will have attached a authenticity form stating their funding. Again, Thank you!!! to the Arts Councils of North Caroina,
I paint in memory of the greatest Momma and Daddy --People, God ever created: Jean Ann and Donald E Webber. "Thank you for the most wonderful years of my life...only eleven of them but the most impressionable I had... together you made me. Daddy, thanks for teaching me to 'color in the lines' and momma, to shade and for all the moments watching you paint and sew. But, mostly, thanks for teaching me about life, respect, keeping to your beliefs, and God. I love you both dearly."
