work: creative women's circle book

Tess of the Creative Women's Circle asked me to contribute to her beautiful book, Conversations with Creative Women. A collection of interviews with creative women who have succeeded in their own creative work & business. I chose to do the title page for Kristen Doran because I could relate to the work she does. Here it is!

i just discovered this online. yanina viland asked me a while back if she could tattoo my picture for a client of hers. im still shocked that someone would get one of my pictures - let alone an embroidery - tattooed! its crazy. her tattoo is really nice i think she did a beautiful job.
