Vibrantly colored balloons float through a sky with fluffy white clouds, while creatures that appear to be a combination of turtles and plants observe them. One of the fantastical creatures has detached a balloon and seems to be rising into the air with it, suggesting a sense of adventure or escape.

I was a creative kid but didn’t think to pursue it and, upon graduating from high school, followed the path of least resistance from mail clerking at an ad agency to managing the HR Department of a mid-sized investment dealer, where, after eight years, I decided to take a run at doing as I pleased. Early on, this was writing, later, illustrating. I still do both, though am acknowledged most for my illustrations, reproductions of which have appeared in Canadian and U.S. publications, been chosen for Apple iCards, and are hung for fun on walls around the world. Two have been featured on Fine Art America's home page—'little black dress' and, more recently, 'painter'. Visit my website, dkzn/dickson, at dkzn.net
