Today I was interviewed for Schlegel Villages upcoming “Pursuit of Passions” Exhibit I answered questions about my Passions in Art, American Sign Language, and my published ASL Dictionary that blended them both. A makeup artist did my face for the photo session as I joked the only makeup I apply is for Halloween and the cartoons in my book. The photographer Chris wanted photos of me drawing, so instead of just posing with my pencil, I surprised everyone by drawing a quick cartoon of her with her quote, “Every picture is beautiful”, her hand posed in the ASL hand sign for I love you. Chris really loved it, so I gave it to her as a gift. Later on, I’ll get copies of their pictures and see how I look doing my artwork in makeup. It was all very exciting.
