New South Wales – Sixty years old paintings of Pixie O’Harris were mysteriously found at a Manning based hospital in New South Wales. Taree resident, Janine Roberts, discovered the paintings when she visited the hospital. The paintings were made by the famous painter, Pixie O’Harris, in 1957 for the hospital. All the paintings are based on children stories, including The Babes in the Wood, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. The theme of these paintings is similar to the Great Wave of Kanagawa, which is one of Japan’s best works till date. That particular painting depicts the contrast between transient human life and the imposing nature.

Ms. Roberts was already familiar with Pixie O’Harris‘ art, and she saw the paintings ignored in the hospital’s office floor. She got very excited and emotional after discovering the paintings. Ms. Roberts asked the hospital staff about their existence in the hospital, but nobody could tell her how long the paintings are there.

She went back to the hospital with her fellow, Penny Teerman, to collect the late artist’s rare paintings. There she found 13 more paintings, kept randomly in the hospital’s storeroom. There were a total of 17 paintings in the hospital. Ms. Robert told that eight more paintings are missing from the collection of 25 paintings. To find them, she put a call on social media but did not get any clue.

Ms. Roberts Said, “The day I found them, I packed them into the ute very carefully and drove to the art gallery straight away. We were all here, and it was very exciting unpacking each one and looking at it.”

After the full collection of the paintings would be available, they will be featured in an exhibition in January 2020. Previous paintings of Pixie and Olaf O’Harris will also be a part of the exhibition.

The exhibition curator, Sue Mitchell said, “it was rare to have a full series of Pixie and Olaf O’Harris hospital paintings. It’s like finding lost treasure.”

The American Dream whispers promises of opportunity, but for first-generation children, it can also carry a heavy weight of expectation. Natalie Massaro, the visionary behind Coco Glow, knows this firsthand. “There was an unspoken pressure to succeed,” Natalie explains. “Failure wasn’t an option.” This fueled a relentless work ethic in her – juggling two jobs while in school, a constant drive to excel that burned brightly within her.

This drive initially led the SheEO down a traditional path. But a different passion, simmering beneath the surface, tugged at her – a love for beauty and skincare. Stemming from her own experiences navigating body image as a woman with curves in a world often fixated on a single standard of beauty, Natalie knew there was a different narrative to be told.

It was a leap of faith, fueled by unwavering determination, which led Natalie to trade in the traditional path for entrepreneurship. in 2019, Coco Glow was born out of her Jersey Shore apartment. Today she has a staff of talented contour artists and is currently expanding into a second location. The recent introduction of teeth whitening hints at a future where Coco Glow offers a complete canvas for radiant beauty.

“Always find your why,” is Natalie’s mantra. Inspired by her parents’ unwavering work ethic, a constant reminder that “no one can fail if you are consistently showing up every day,” Natalie poured her heart and soul into Coco Glow. Entrepreneurship, it seems, runs in her blood. Her father’s success was a testament to the power of hard work and dedication, values that now echo in Coco Glow’s leadership. Her commitment to exceptional service is a direct reflection of the “show up every day” mindset.

A testament to the American Dream – reimagined for a new generation. It’s about defying expectations, forging your own path, and leaving your mark. It’s about finding your “why” and turning it into something beautiful, one sun-kissed client at a time. And witnessing the boost of confidence in each client who walks out the door is its own reward.

“Every client is understood, their wants and needs are adjusted to – your spray tan is the easiest part of your day” – perfectly represents her client-centric approach.
