This is a picture of me in Haifa, Israel at the Shrine of the Bab. December, 2004.

What you came here to learn:

"Lacey Graves Gerard is an illustrator and painter in Chicago. She posesses a degree in graphic design from the University of Georgia in Athens that she obtained in the summer of 2001 and has since been using her skills to serve the Baha'i Faith's National Offices in Evanston, IL. Mrs. Gerard is the curator of the website lay-c.com and is an avid supporter of the weblog as an art form and as a community-building tool. In her "spare" time, she makes paintings in watercolor and ink, surfs the interweb, plays DDR, laughs, and pokes fun at her husband. She enjoys figurative studies, the verb "crop," and the identification of miscellaneous typography on street signs."

Other interests: knitting, comic books, photography, and traveling.

I have learned 2 things in life which are unequivocally true. From Dad: never assume anything. From Mom: always listen to that little voice. My parents are very wise people.

Work

While my current job is really lovely, I am in search of full-time design work. If you like me and want to help me out, I'd love to send you my resume. Email me! lay-c [at] lay-c.com.

  • Note: I experienced some problems with lay-c.com around October of 2002, forcing my archived entries outside of the scope of the version of Movable Type I am currently running (not MTs fault, it was my mistake). Therefore, there are a year's worth of entries before October of 2002 not included in the count above. They are still permalinked here, they are just not included in my current MT database.
