    Staff Pick by Effie, Digital Arts Curator

    I love this artwork of a ballerina on pointe. It resonated with me by bringing back memories of dance classes, fun, hard work and the joy of pirouettes. The simplicity of the drawing – just lines and shading – evokes the same feeling of lightness you see in a dancer’s movements as they move effortlessly across the stage, drawing you into a different kind of story, one with no words. What you don’t see, as you’re swept away watching a performance, or looking at this deceptively simple drawing, is the effort, the time, dedication and commitment it took to learn, to perfect a movement, to learn a drawing technique, to get on pointe.
