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.

Eva and Samuel

Eva and Samuel's three words were: Kitty and Flower, their parents word was light.
Materials used: graphite, watercolor, watercolor pencil

These curious and mischievous kittens reminded me of Eva and Samuel, and my husband says that smoke is an indication of light, because you need light to start a fire.
The flower is a peony, they are my favorite these days because my maternal grandmother who I never met always grew them, and my mother always grew them and told me about my grandmothers field of peonies. I have used peonies in all of the drawings in this project when there is a flower.
