Big Bend Conservation Alliance
Year-end campaign
Working closely with the Big Bend Conservation Alliance board, I designed an image representing the multiple wonders of the Big Bend region of Texas. These are all aspects of the area that the BBCA works to protect: water, dark skies, flora, and fauna. This design was then used to develop multiple tiers of giving, the highest of which included this full color 16” x 20” painting.
I’ve been a big fan of the BBCA for years now, so this project was a dream. Having lived in West Texas for a short time, I am enchanted by that desert and the sense of ancient mystery it evokes. It was an honor to try to capture the majesty of that land for such an important organization. I also loved adapting the design to multiple mediums and stretching my artistic muscles in order to meet the needs of the project.
“We were so happy to get the chance to work with Dana at the Big Bend Conservation Alliance. She has a passion for conservation and meaningfully interpreted our mission into a work of art that we could use for fundraising purposes. She worked with us throughout the process to adjust her design into multiple formats—a print, an original work, a t-shirt—so that we could offer it to many people at different levels of giving. She was an incredibly enthusiastic participant, too, in sharing her process on social media helping us take our donors behind the scenes in her process. Dana and her work helped us meet our year-end fundraising goal during a very difficult year and it made all the difference.”
