I drew this for my grandmother Margery who was and will always be an incredible inspiration in my life. For her 90's birthday party I collected a few words from each of her grandchildren and put this together to show her how much we all appreciate her.

I got a lot of the same words from different cousins – happy memories like swimming in the lake and chocolate zucchini cake – but the one word that everyone thought of was "peace" and if you knew Marge it would be no mystery why. She was a long-time peace activist and a member of the Council of Canadians and People for Peace. 

My goal was to combine all of the words and ideas everyone shared into this rooster shape, which is a reference to the memories that we have visiting my grandparent's farm and going out to the chicken coop with my grandmother to collect eggs and take care of the chickens.

Why a rooster? Well if you knew Marge you wouldn't have to ask.
