Sheila Gatlin and Cynthia Britt delivered a gift to the Columbus County Sheriff’s Office this past week. They created a diamond art portrait of an officer hugging a child as a thank you gift for staff. Diamond art is a mosaic type of art created by adhering tiny plastic beads “diamonds” to a canvas.
