Henrietta Dering Johnston
1674 - 1729
Acknowledged as the first professional female artist in America,
Henrietta Johnston was born in Europe and immigrated to Charleston, South Carolina in 1708. It was her husband's appointment as delegate of South Carolina by the Church of England's Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts that prompted her family to make the life-altering journey across the Atlantic.
Due to delayed salary payments from the Society, the Johnstons fell upon financial hardships. This resulted in Henrietta's attempt to augment the couple's income by drawing commissioned pastel portraits. In a 1709 letter to the Society, her husband, Gideon Johnston, writes
"were it not for the assistance my wife gives by drawing of Pictures (which can last but a little time in a place so ill peopled) I should not be able to live"

Although there is little information on her later life in the Colonies, Henrietta is believed to have made a journey to New York City and painted four portraits of a family that resided there. (1725) She is assumed to have returned to Charleston sometime before her death in 1729.
Many of her pieces may be seen in places such as the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston, the Museum of Early Southern Decorative Arts, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Greenville County Museum of Art.

Unfortunately there are a lot of AIDS/Herpes denials on Herbal cures still out there. I did research on them after I was tested HIV/Herpes positive I was so worried am I going to die soon. I continue my search again on herbal remedy for Std, then I found lots of testimony on how Dr Itua Herbal Medicine Cured HIV/Aids, Herpes Virus,Copd, Hepatitis, Diabetes, On websites sharing their testimonies, which made much more sense to me. All the authors pronounce Dr Itua As a man with Good Heart, I pick interest in their testimonies and I contact him about my situation then he gave me procedure how it works, I proceed after one week he courier his Herbal Medicine to me and instruct me on how to drink it for two weeks to cure. I receive His Herbal Medicine so I drank it for two weeks as I was told then after 2 days I go for a test I found out I was cured from HIV/Aids & Herpes Virus, I pay homage to him 2 months ago to his country to celebrate with him on his African festival which he told me it usually happens every year. I know there are lots of (HIV)/Aids&Herpes Virus denials of Herbal Remedy movement the same few doctors and they represent a very small faction of the community. I could have died because I refused Natural Herbs Cures for so long, but luckily, by the grace of God I am alive to tell my story.
