her work to the layman, but the main
feature is that her drawings are all
made on a scale.
Her small piece OF drawing paper is
laid out in tiny squares and the huge
steel hillboards are laid out in large
squares.
She makes her drawing or design for
an automobile, toothpaste, or soft drink

take 1t and copy 1t on the steel board.
They paint whatever she has in tiny

Then she is brought forward and she
feels like an exhibit of some kind.
She is O petite person with soft brown
hair and delicate coloring and 1t is very
