-----
Her name is Whisper... for the inspiration she brings comes in the form of barley-heard whispers that speak more to the mind than to the ears.

The leaves that make up her clothing represent ideas that grow and grow until they must be expressed through visual art to be shared with those in need of inspiration or encouragement and to bring joy to those who may be feeling like the world is a dark and empty place.

Her wings and ears represent flights of the imagination that allow emotions to soar to new heights.

Her striped tights and pointy toes are a symbol of creativity with a touch of whimsy to bring laughter and hope to troubled minds.

Her hands are larger than usual to represent the use of hands to create beautiful things to gladden the heart in inspire the mind.

The sparkles flowing from her fingertips represent the ideas that she sparks in the mind that inspire one to strive for a better world full of light, love, and laughter and to never give up on the dreams that are within each and every human being from the moment of birth into this world full of uncertainty.

She brings light to the eyes, hope to the world, and peace to all… you need only to let her in.
