Up the stairs-
feeling the platform rock.
Ropes quivering,
clips clinking.
One foot gently in front of
the other.
Swaying in the breeze,
I walk across the rope.
Feel the ropes sway.
Stop.
One foot
gently
in front of the other
again.
Feeling wind-
urging myself forward.
Feel a sway as
someone walks
behind me.
A rush of excitement.
My feet on the platform
reaching carefully-
stepping over.
Clink, clink.
I can move on.
I step on a rope-
swaying.
Now for the next.
Stepping-
Swaying-
Wobbling-
Continuing.
Back and forth.
Stepping up.
The platform,
firm and solid
beneath my feet.
One solid beam.
Going forward.
Wobbling-
Bouncing.
Reaching up.
Stepping forward.
Click, click.
Clack, clack.
Forward.
Continue.
Bounce.
Rock.
Sway.
I feel it all
as I walk
across the beam.
Platform again.
Clink, clank.
Grabbing on.
Going down.
Wind rushing around me
swinging and swaying
down the zipline.
Hanging,
dangling,
going down-
Standing up.
Confidence surrounding me.
I did it.

I’m an illustrator, surface designer and educator based in Atlanta, GA. I live with my boyfriend and our three rescue kitties, who very often make it into my art, especially the two black cats.
I feel very comfortable creating art for kids, because I'm really a kid at heart. I love cute animals and bright colors. I find it particularly satisfying to distill complex concepts into simple shapes that are stylized but easily recognizable.

Sienna Farr was one of Princess Awesome's first models, before our Kickstarter, before we were much more than a dream and a few dresses made of tee shirts and quilting material. She died in a fire that also seriously injured her mother on August 11, 2023, aged 13.
