riginally created for a gallery show called “ight,” all these pieces

are acrylic with some collage and are approimately (.  .

.  . cm) in sie. ong after they were sold, I licensed the

images to tio o to be used for canvas reproductions. ne

original can be applicable to a whole array of markets, so my

advice is to never, ever sell your copyright on any given piece.

eig of erie isit the i, is one of a series of pieces to honor the many ways children can help others. ach piece was created on paper,

with acrylic, pastel, and ink, (   .  2. cm). ote that I touched up each piece digitally by scanning items and using Photoshop.

This allows me to add important elements such as the oral curtains that can make the ambiance of the room more complete.

eior oat otai or was created with cont pencil and acrylic on drafting tissue. I really love the feel of drawing

with pastelcont pencil on tissue it feels very earthy to me. I drew the goats and animals separately and then gathered

scans from other illustrations and merged them into one digital piece (for more on this process, see chapter ).

or eample, the trees came from a separate painting. The end result is a print that I send to people who sponsor the

farms three senior pygmy goats.

These three fabric pieces were created by taking my original

drawings and uploading them to poooer, an online resource

that takes your digital file and prints it into fabric (see esources,

page ). I use the fabric to create pillows and sachets from our

farms lavender buds harvested from , plants. Ive also used

the fabric to make threedimensional items such as standup dolls

and prayer ags.
