The clip art of the Gibson Girl is by the American artist Charles Dana Gibson done around 1890-1910, available from DeskGallery®. The Gibson Girl drawing was colorized in August 1996 by Heikki Luhtala. What a nice surprise! I like them both. Which do you prefer?
(Here is why I use a drawing instead of a photo of myself.)
My husband and I have raised several dogs over the years: Australian Shepherds, Bernese Mountain Dogs, a Norwegian Elkhound mix, and a Standard Poodle. A portion of this site is set aside for dogs.
I am a Fellow of the Society for Technical Communication. (Sadly, the Society ceased operations 29 January 2025 after 72 years of serving the technical communication field. I was a member of the Society for 46 years having served in several positions at the chapter and society level.)
Here is my résumé. Updated
