FB users; one simple click can really help out a 97 year old artist!
Sheliah Beckett is an illustrator who is still going as strong as ever-in fact, she now works in Photoshop on a Wacom tablet! However, her publisher says that her work is too old fashioned and he believes that she no longer has much of a fan base. Let's prove him wrong by clicking "Like" on her Facebook page! http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Art-of-Sheilah-Beckett/112433015441913?ref=ts

2. Thank you! It's tough enough out there for a freelance artist
without having to deal with the ageism that comes from being 97 years old.

7. Thanks everyone! You've helped Sheliah to more than double her FB fan base in
just one day! A friend of mine also just spoke to the producers of "Growing bolder" and they want to do a segment on her. Woot!
