Opening night "Party in the Pines"

Jenny Carrera and cousin, Grant Gausman

Jenny Carrera and Grant Gausman attended the Party in the Pines with us to celebrate the opening of the 2013 Cape Fear Festival of Trees at the Cameron Art Museum. 

Just like the glitter they added to our butterflies, Jenny & Grant made our night more special. 

Dancers from the Nutcracker attended the party and Jenny had her picture taken with one of her favorite characters, The Sugar Plum Fairy!

Santa was also on hand and asked Jenny for her list right on the spot!

Our Tree "Angel's Wings"

Atlanta's Art is so excited to be a part of this year's Cape Fear Festival of Trees!  Our tree, "Angel's Wings" was a concept by artist, Teresa Gausman and features handmade butterflies using artwork from my Angel's Series.  Artist, Lana Prince created the butterfly patterns and with assistance from the entire Atlanta's Art team, the butterflies were brought to life. 

Many thanks to Lower Cape Fear Hospice, our sponsor, Keller's, Inc., and to all those who made this tree possible! 

My latest poem, "Butterfly Tree," celebrates this new creation.

Butterfly Tree by Atlanta Marie Carrera

The butterfly tree
weaves golden dreams
with a rainbow of smiles.

Countless wings
soaring upward
leave a trail of love.

An unknown angel
leads spheres of light
as good deeds shine.

Happiness flows
like a river of joy
through bright colored wonder.

Angel Delivery to Hospice

Atlanta, Reynold & Jenny "the Angel"
deliver our prints to Josie at Hospice.

Atlanta's Art visits Hospice to deliver our prints and cards for their end-of-year campaign.  What makes this delivery so special?  Well, Jenny in her Angel costume of course!  After all, they do call themselves the "Hospice Angels" and we were delivering prints with cards and poems from my "Angels Series."

As a "Thank you" gift, Hospice will send you a set of my 3 newest poem cards and 6 notes cards for your donation of $100 or more to their Annual Fund.
