Meet Yvonne Ford...A Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event Artist


Yvonne Ford is one of the 3rd Annual Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event artists. She painted a child Adirondack chair with a painted scene from Horton Hears a Who. The chair would be a wonderful addition for a child’s room or for any Dr. Seuss fans.

Yvonne Ford, a Miami native, graduated from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale and has worked steadily as an illustrator, graphic designer, and web designer. Her clients include book cover designs and page illustrations for FC&A Publishing, creating educational materials for Gallopade International, and designing a series of “Christian Critters” cross-stitch pattern books for Color Charts. Her most recent works include illustrating The Adventures of Sara, The Pineapple Cat, and The Peachtree City Night Before Christmas.

Yvonne’s loving family includes her husband, a daughter, two sons, a son-in-law, and Franky the dog. They are all avid campers and are active in their church.

Come out to the Hollingsworth House Chair-ity Event on November 30 from 5:00-7:30pm to view and bid on Yvonne’s children chair as well as chairs and works of art created and painted by other local artists. Tickets are $25 and maybe purchased at the door or in advance by calling 770-703-2636. The Chair-ity Event is an annual affair hosted by local business leaders including Congressman and Mrs. Lynn A. Westmoreland. All proceeds will help the children who live at Christian City have a wonderful Christmas.
