Fig. 1: Slade 2019. Tiny Dancer
When I asked Aspyn's mother what kind of image she was interested in she replied that Aspyn (who is growing up with cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus) always wants to be a ballerina and maybe this could be her chance. Thanks to a local Ballet Studio we were able to give her more than just this piece of art- but a complete ballet workshop with costume and mini performance!

The moment Aspen reached the dance floor she completely ditched her walker and shouted as she twirled "Wahoo! I'm a ballerina!"
This is why I do what I do.
