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.

Ellen

This drawing was done in memory of Ellen for her Aunt Loreto. Ellen passed away from ARDS last winter. I did not know her but I have learned that she was vivacious, loving, and full of life. This is one of the last drawings on my list and I have been slow to finish it because it was quite moving and emotional to make a drawing to remember someone by that you did not know. I hope I captured something of her in the drawing.
Materials used: graphite and watercolor
