We are thrilled to announce that Ashley Gerou, a student at Kendall College of Art and Design has agreed to create our Project Displays. Ashley says she was inspired to become an artist by her great-grandmother. The two of them used to bond over art projects. Ashley cites her great-grandmother and Claude Monet as the artists that have had the most influence on her style. She says "those two artists have more of a classical approach and a subtle elegance which I like to portray in my works."When I asked Ashley what drew her to volunteer to help us, she said that many organizations just make donations of money, but Heifer actually helps these countries produce their own income and that aspect made our gift market seem like a good project to help out. She hopes that her designs are "an appealing showcase of what is being done so it will help others understand, relate and contribute to the organization in a simple, yet eye-catching manner."
Ashley desires to work in the fashion industry doing graphic design for magazines when she finishes her studies. We are sure we'll be proud to say we "knew her when...."
Thank you, Ashley for your donation of time and imagination.
