Over last couple of months I have been working with a non-profit organization called C.A.D.E. (Children with Autism Deserve Education). Here is there website: http://autism5k.org/wp/2011/michael-birawer/ What C.A.D.E. were looking for was an illustration that commemorates their annual 5k race - which takes place this year at Lake Harriet on May 21st, this spring. The illustration I painted shows a runner fixed inside of a jigsaw puzzle piece that is hovering over the voided opening to it's right. This narrative tells the story of how we see our goals in front of us, but we still have not quite filled in the the open space. Though we hope to connect the final piece one day, we can celebrate our ongoing efforts today.
The proceeds will benefit local families affected by autism as well as research and is to be distributed through the nonprofit.
