For this week's topic, I decided to dig into my old work a bit. These two pieces were created back in college to illustrate the folk tale "The Girl Who Climbed to the Sky." The story tells of a girl named Sapana who is kidnapped by a porcupine man, forced to marry him, and kept captive in his kingdom in the sky--so she's grounded but actually far above the ground itself. With a little digging, a little ingenuity and the help of a few bird friends, Sapana makes it back home safely.

These are beautiful. I was reading your "about" section on your site. I think we have a few things in common...expecially farmer's markets, Barbara Kingsolver, Marc Chagall, Mary Grandpre and Jesuits! Good luck with your beautiful art!
