Bridget Zinn June 02, 2011

Last week friend and YA writer, Bridget Zinn, passed away from colon cancer at the age of 33. It's taken me a bit to write about this. What to say? How do I wrap my mind around the loss of someone so young and vibrant and awesome? Impossible, really. 

I was in my studio the other day, and I just felt like I wanted to paint something special for Bridget's sweet husband, Barrett. When in doubt, paint. That is my (very unofficial) motto. 

The more I started thinking about this painting, the more I wanted to share it with others, and I thought it might be nice to sell prints of this painting, in memory of Bridget, with all of the proceeds going to Friends of the Cooperative Children's Book Center, (an organization that Bridget was very close to, and the chosen place for memorial donations.)

Bridget's husband thought this was a good idea, so it's now in motion! If you would like to purchase this print, you can do so right here.

 

**update***  

The In Memory of Bridget Zinn print is still available! Thanks to all for supporting this piece and Friends of the CCBC. I know that some of you were concerned that it was sold out, but I've just ordered a new batch of prints. For those of you that have already purchased a print, yours will be shipping on Monday, June 20th. Thank you again!
