Charity Work

  • Folio Universale: The University of Illinois Library sponsored a carousel horse to raise money for the local United Way of Champaign County. As the only person with an artistic background on the team, I produced a "creative vision" drawing and did the body painting of the horse. There is a coffee table book available with pictures of all the horses, and the horses will be auctioned off in February 2005. To see the other carousel horses, please follow the link highlighted on this page. Created Spring 2005.
  • Piggy Bank: Created for the Economic Awareness Council as a coloring piece for children. Created Spring 2006.
