She also created the collage from the illustrations she did for several of the stories in my children's book, The Sid Series ~ A Collection of Holistic Stories for Children.
I've asked Hayley to answer a few questions for those who are interested in her work.
YVONNE: How did you come up with the idea for the art cover for this book?
HAYLEY: I was given the general idea of a girl showing both happy and sad emotions and an example of what Yvonne wanted. At first I was considering putting the two emotions in different faces but I realized it might not display the right idea so I decided upon giving the girl tears and a smile to show her different emotions.
YVONNE: What programs did you use to create the piece?
HAYLEY:Originally the piece was done with colored pencils in my sketchbook. I then transferred the image to my computer were I used a photo editing program called GIMP to finish my creation.
YVONNE: How long does it take to create something like this?
HAYLEY:I spent about two hours on the original colored pencil part and about four more with the editing program.
YVONNE: Where are you studying art?
HAYLEY:I'm not taking any art classes right now
YVONNE: Do you plan to continue your art studies after graduation?
HAYLEY: Yes I do. I love art and fully enjoy using my creativity. Everything artistic is my passion! Although I enjoy art too much to let it go, I want it to be more of a side job because of the inconsistency of the pay.
YVONNE: Are you available to other authors who need cover art for their books?
HAYLEY: YES! I would love to take more jobs for anyone interested! You may contact me at http://www.wix.com/hayleys_custom_art/1. Thank you.
Thank you, Hayley.
