Music is the Light: Jane and the Robot Etching (Intaglio), aqutaint Fall 2008 This print spurred a series of illustrations surrounding a story that I developed about a little girl who moves across the United States and starts school with a new group of peers that do not accept her. She spends the school year feeling rejected and finds a robot to befriend behind her house in a forest that hides a deserted, dilapidated city. The story is about her finding ways to accept who she is and show confidence in her own abilities. By doing this, she gains respect and friends among her peers.
