June 1, 2023, Schlegel Villages held a Pursuit of Passions Gala at The Village of University Gates in Waterloo. Photographer Chris Kufske took the pictures of the artists honoured at the celebration. During my interview, she asked questions about my artwork, my love of American Sign Language, and how I blended both into my first finished book, My ASL Dictionary.
Surrounded by samples of my printed ASL artwork, Chris asked me to pose with a pencil and paper, so I enhanced that picture by drawing a cartoon of her instead (which I let her keep).
Below is the video Riverside Glen staff took of the experience.

While I was posing for Chris, she was posing for me as I drew a cartoon of her. This is a photograph; she has the original.
