In recent years Child Guidance & Family Solutions, a behavioral healthcare agency in Summit County, chooses work by a local artist for its annual report. Rephrasing that: artwork is chosen for a poster – with the annual report printed on the back. What a super idea! The original artwork, if donated, is auctioned off at their fundraising event, Growing Up Akron. The posters/annual reports are distributed to their many supporters and associates.

For 2012 I created a new mixed media piece in the Imprints series just for CG&FS. In keeping with the agency’s mission and this year’s theme of community, I included a bit of childlike imagery and used a bright palette to keep things upbeat.
