The Springfield Housing Authority is a wonderful organization that provides housing to low income families with a goal of ending the poverty cycle in Springfield. One of the ways they have been able to work to toward this goal is through their program 'Talk, Read Succeed!'- a program that encourages both the parents and children to read together. I was asked to create this painting to Illustrate this program and the overall mission of the SHA. It was truly an honor to create this for them.
