    HOLIDAY GREETINGS ACROSS THE NATION — Charlotte White Center watercolor art class painter Miranda had her “Cardinal” selected for the American Network of Community Options and Resources annual holiday card, which was sent out across the country.

    Last holiday season, Miranda’s “Cardinal” was chosen from a pool of national artists as the image on the American Network of Community Options and Resources’ annual holiday card that is sent nationwide. Miranda had this to say when she discovered her artwork had been chosen, “I liked taking my time doing this art piece and really enjoyed it. I feel very proud of being famous. It makes me feel great inside to be painting and also when I sell something. My name is Miranda and I have been painting for quite some time and I’m proud of it!”
    Her art instructors at the Charlotte White Center consider her to be a joy in class and they are impressed by her talent. An instructor was quoted recently saying, “Miranda sets a great example for her peers! She always has a positive, can-do attitude no matter what challenges each art project may present.
