Judi, I've just suggested to a very talented NYC artist, Carolyn Lindbom, that she contact you regarding your need for an illustrator for the new edition of Counseling the Nursing Mothers. When I read the Lactnet post, I immediately thought of her. In my opinion, she'd be a perfect choice. I'm sure she'll be happy to send you her resume, etc., so I'll share just a few thoughts to introduce her. She has a piece permanently displayed in the Museum of Natural History in NYC. She's taught at the Art Students' League in NYC and other universities. Her work appears in numerous well-respected collections world-wide and includes an abundant number of very tastefully done nudes. As an IBCLC and art lover, I think Carolyn's gift for painting nudes would be a definite asset to the new edition. I have two of her paintings, both of which I treasure. I know her talents would enhance the project beautifully. I've taken the liberty of forwarding your note to her, after making a quick phone call to her this evening. Looking forward to seeing you at the Scottsdale BSC conference next week, Joyce Blangiardo RN, RN, FACCE, IBCLC ASPO/Lamaze National Faculty Long Island, NY [log in to unmask]
