One Dozen Who Care, Inc. will feature the acrylic paintings of Thomas “Dooner” Driver Jr from 4:00 pm until 7:00 pm on Friday, June 22, 2007, in its office at 65 Wilson Street, Suite 7, in Andrews, North Carolina.

Driver was born and raised in Cherokee, NC. He and his wife, Louise, live in Robbinsville, North Carolina.

“I believe painting is the language of our soul,” he said. “One painting can capture your heart and elevate your emotions. One stroke can sweep you off to your own personal paradise. Painting is, and always has been, an important part of native culture.”

As traditional art blends with more contemporary art, one element remains forever embedded in Native American design and acrylic paintings - the love and respect for all life. These are paintings and prints of the heart.

“I hope you understand my thoughts, my dreams, and my expressions.” Dooner said.

Everyone is invited to come by the One Dozen Who Care office Friday to meet Driver and view his paintings.

The mission of One Dozen Who Care is to strengthen leadership among women and youth and to build strong community bonds through common cultural situations.
