Gaining the task of developing a federal brochure gave much joy to a lady designer's marketing firm. A usual day at the firm would mean working on by the book military projects, but now they get to express their creativity in the general services administration brochure. Nonetheless, their job remains simple, and it is to develop a company celebration brochure.
Another typical assignment is what the lady designer considered this new task to be. Much unexpected progress was later encountered with the GSA project.
Brochures will be used to remember what made it possible for federal offices to be handicapped accessible. Together with another designer, they decided to avail of sketches from an artist to replace photographs.
First recipients for the brochure drawings, from two artists, were the GSA officials. Commenting on the artists, she shared that one of them was disabled. Even so, the officials were not entitled to know which one was it.
After a car accident the designer's sister was paralyzed, her four oil pastel drawings drew much attention from the officials. After the accident, she stopped her 30 years of painting, these illustrations were done with much hesitation, her first attempt to work again.
Other relatives need some consideration as well. It was their father who implemented the architectural barriers act.
The lady artist called for much encouragement to join in. Physical therapy was a major part of her schedule as she just left the hospital after months of rehabilit
ation. It was presumed by the sister that she would not go for it.
All she cared about was living in her wheelchair. Some months after the incident, the life of the artist became a matter of learning to get around in a wheelchair and the regular onset of nerve pain.
No illness ever manifested. Like she says, running marathons is a strong suit, was a strong suit. Spending the rest of your life in a wheelchair is disheartening.
Even if she was on a trip to Connecticut for physical therapy, she managed to send some drawings back to her sister.
To finish the illustrations she needed to make, she first needed to wait until the pain in her nerves subsides, and it took a full day of waiting before she was finally able to proceed with her assignment. Just recently, the GSA awarded another lady artist for her brochure design where her own drawings were used.
Dramatic colors and her personal techniques generated the interests of the judges, nationally recognized design professionals, but they were more fascinated about the intensity in her illustrations.
The award was a bonus, but the rewards from the project were already apparent to both lady artists and sisters. Nothing mattered much to her after the incident and the project gave her something to look forward to, said one of the sisters.
Much optimism can be expected for the artist when these post accident works are over and done with, she will go back to therapy while awaiting the spring, and she is looking forward to painting and eventually setting up an art exhibit with her artist son. Life is a rollercoaster, it go up then comes down, she muses.
