Commission: Illustrations for, “Memoirs of Abuse” by Bobbie Hebert
Bobbie Hebert has spent her life in the service of children. Robbed or a childhood of her own, the abuse she suffered imbued her with an exorbitant amount of kindness and empathy towards children and others. After years of social work, she began teaching children with learning disabilities how to read out of her house.
Now in her 70s, Bobbie has written a memoir about her childhood and life, to bring to consciousness and light the darkness that existed in her home, allowing for a sympathetic experience towards Bobbie and anyone else who has suffered from similar forms of abuse.
She gave me the great honor of illustrating key moments from her life, and drawing the cover and title page from the only existing photograph of her as a child.
