In January of 2010 during a snow storm in Memphis, Melissa, Dianne Papasan and I met in my studio to do the initial photography for the project! Melissa was in town from her home in Philadelphia for a whirl wind weekend of book signing and to work on this Le Bonheur Children's Hospital project. She did an awesome job under the pressure of the terrible weather we were having and I was very impressed with her. She even allowed me to photograph her for her business head shots to be used in conjunction with her books!
Once the photographs were prepared to her specifications, I sent her the images and she added her additional artwork. The images were then sent to the amazing staff at Le Bonheur who have spent countless hours working on the art for the hospital.
In the spring/summer the images were printed and hung and voila, there is an awesome wing in the hospital of these great wooberry dolls! I know the children will be smiling as they travel this hallway!
More to come on this project!
The Art for Heart Party is Thursday, the 26th of August in the evening. If you would like to see more of the wonderful artwork from artists all around the mid south, please join me there! It is going to be a magical night! You can purchase tickets at http://www.lebonheur.org click on the Art with Heart tab.
