2023, "The Art of Healing: Exploring Inner Life in Contour Drawing" “This is the room where my son died. They had all these tubes… you know, terrible! There was always blood coming down… I couldn’t draw the face so I put the pillow there. They gave him four gallons of blood… I had always given blood… and I couldn’t wait till I could go again and give some blood for somebody else.” —Elizabeth Layton
