Every week, GreyHawk Landing's Bert Garino placed 20 rocks she painted along the Peaceful Path at Peace Presbyterian Church.
When she returns the following week, she finds the rocks are gone as people have picked them up and taken them home.
Garino said she loves hearing stories of people finding the rocks.
Garino showcased some of her painted rocks, along with other creative projects, on the Peaceful Path during Artists on the Path May 4.
She had quilts, toys, dolls and blankets she made out of grocery bags on display.
Toni Muirhead, a Peace Presbyterian Church member who helped create the Peaceful Path, said Artists on the Path was meant to bring local community artists together.
Garino said she was able to meet artists who are members of the church and discover their hidden talents.
Artists of all ages showcased their work in Artists on the Path.
Reese Woods, a first grader at Gene Witt Elementary School, was excited to have the succulent he created using pastels on display. He said it was hard to make his artwork because it took a long time to outline the succulent.
