So first off, you are amazing! Second, it looks great! Third, I can’t believe it!
Wow! It looks amazing — even better than I thought it could be.
In a world…where everything is a challenge and nothing is easy, there is you — a little ray of sunshine I can always count on to brighten my day. A very sappy, dramatic way of saying thank you for this!
I called some people into my office to look at your work. They were all amazed.
About
I am fortunate to have been able to make a career combining my two loves — art and science. As a child, art was always my favorite past time. And in school, understanding living things and how things worked interested me most. After completing a degree in Biology and minor in Art from Ripon College, WI, I went on to the graduate program for Biomedical Visualization at the University of Illinois at Chicago. This education was invaluable to the success I have achieved today. See below for more details about my career.

CERTIFICATION
The CMI after my name means "Certified Medical Illustrator." To become certified, an illustrator must attend and graduate from one of four accredited masters programs in North America, or have comparable experience. Then a comprehensive certification exam must be passed, after which a professional portfolio is submitted for Board review. To maintain certification, an illustrator must earn continuing education credits through approved classes and workshops. I earned my certified status in 1997.
