Juliet Wins the Sixth Annual Creative Kids Contest
Congratulations to Juliet, winner of this year’s Creative Kids Contest for kids with disabilities! Juliet is a creative, energetic 11-year-old diagnosed with arthrogryposis. She is currently creating her own animated series called "Swift" about the adventures of a stray black lab. Her series is posted on YouTube for all the world to see. In addition, she is in the process of writing her first novel, titled "Moon, the Story of a Wolf." In fact, her love of wolves inspired her to ask for a trip to the International Wolf Center in Ely for her next birthday. She enjoys the outdoors, especially swimming, fishing and playing night games in the summer with the neighborhood kids. Her service dog, Tank, is her lovable companion and often is the subject of her artwork. Juliet’s artwork is featured on the 2011 PACER greeting cards. A set of eight greeting cards can be purchased for $10 by ordering online or calling PACER at 952-838-9000. Proceeds go directly toward PACER’s programs to help children with disabilities and their families. Creative Kids extends a special thanks to all contestants; Anthony R. Whelihan, PACER’s artist in residence; and its sponsors: Bloomington Art Center, Gallery Service, and Ideal Printers.
