FIREFIGHTER ART
CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE. Story behind my inspiration to honor the Fire Service:
After Margate Fire Rescue came to my aid in April of 2004, I was truly inspired. I have always had a great respect for all first responders, but until I was actually on the receiving end, that I was truly touched by their help and demeanor. The irony of the exact date I was rescued, was exactly two years to the date that my beloved brother passed at the tender age of 46.
The 911 call that was placed for me was a medical emergency. I had an allergic reaction to a medication prescribed, severely affecting my breathing. The sound of the sirens coming from the distance, was the sweetest sound I had ever heard. The paramedics arrived within minutes from the initial 911 call.
Several weeks upon being released from the Hospital, I stopped by Station 18 to find and thank my Rescuers. I knocked on the door and Paramedic/Firefighters John Gener and Danny Rodriquez both answered the door, I said to them, "There's my Heroes!" The puzzled looks on their faces I still recall. I explained to them why I had stopped by, to thank them personally. I came to find out that they work one day on, then
two days off. Really was amazing that they BOTH answered the door when I had stopped by, not knowing their schedules!
What truly forged my inspiration was when I said to John Gener, "you must receive tons of thank you cards" He replied," two, and one of them was sent by you, Teri," I could not believe it! So in my own way, I am making up for the ones who do not take the time to say "Thank You!"
To date I have completed eight (8) Firefighter paintings, my Original "The Final Call" is an Exterior Memorial at Firefighters Park in South Florida, a free standing wall , measuring 6 feet tall and four and a half feet wide. Five of my paintings I have had silk screened on T-shirts, at the request of Firefighters. Prints of my Original Firefighter Art have been purchased for Awards, discounts on multiple orders are available. T shirts of my paintings can be personalized with Stations names, events and or special dates. Also available, hand painted Portraits, photo needed.
My Original Firefighter Art makes for a truly unique and personalized gift. My painting, "Future Firefighter" can be personalized, ( hand painted) with names on bunker jackets, hair, eye and skin tone change, also can become a little girl, also personalize with one or more of your child, photo of child required.
