Introduced at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2006 with Queen Elizabeth 11 receiving the first bouquet from Sir Donald Sinden. Page was commissioned to paint the Rose "Caroline Victoria" and presented it to Queen Elizabeth 11 on her 80th Birthday - it hangs at Buckingham Palace. This pastel painting is done with iridescent pastels from France. The Rose has the highest scent in an impeccable genealogical background, combining the stately grace of the Audrey Hepburn rose with the fragrant, award-winning New Zealand rose. Classic and elegant, the Caroline Victoria is an exceptional hybrid tea rose with blooms of pure ivory shading to amber-blush in a spiral bud formation, and a lingering perfume evocative of citrus and raspberry with subtle overtones of mint. Created in 2006 by world-renowned rose breeder Robert Harkness of Harkness Roses, Hertfordshire, England. The Queen has two bushes and Page has four bushes.

Plein Air pastel painting keeps me focused on who and what I am in Life. My entire aura goes into the work which I finish on location. I have no fear of color thus my heart guides me.
"My Gift of Art came at six years old. It has helped me live the art of life. I like plein air painting as I am one with nature. I have had many International exhibits around the world."
