Donate for ARDS research and receive an original drawing

In March, at the age of thirty, I found myself suddenly ill and on a ventilator fighting for my life for 18 days. I was in the hospital for 21 days, but thankfully I survived. It has been a long and emotional recovery that continues everyday.
I have decided to join the ARDS Foundation team and raise morny for ARDS research. For every donation that is made over $120, I will give the donor an original drawing created specifically for them.
$100 dollars will go towards the ARDS Foundation and $20 will be used for materials and shipping costs.

These drawings will be done on 100% cotton rag paper with pen, pencil, and ink. Send me three words when you make your donation and those words will inspire the creation of your drawing. After donating email me at with three words that I will use to inspire a drawing as a thank you gift.

materials used: pen, graphite, ink, watercolor pencils
These recent drawings are not specifically for donors, although they will be for sale at Deep Breath. I plan on working on more drawings for my donors. I hope to have a few more of those finished this coming week. This past weekend I followed my instincts and let the drawings
take me where they needed to go.
Not knowing what the drawing will be or how it will turn out is liberating and interesting. These types of "drawing experiments" inform my more controlled and planned drawings.

Abby--this is the one I want! There are several others I really like too (really I would be happy with any of them) so let me know if it's already spoken for!
Loves,
Janie
