Janet O'Rourke is art director to the local Ballet Co, CGDA in Hood River, Oregon and has been involved in the production of "The Nutcracker Ballet" for the past 8 years. Responsible for creating full sets and costumes, with a cast of over 100 people. Her costumes are visions of her drawings come to life. The ballet has been a source of inspiration for many of her images and her close association with the children of the company has moved her to produce artwork with them in mind.

Janet O'Rourke and Theresa Mason are collaborating on a book about dancing fairies. Janet is doing fantastic illustrations for the book and Theresa Mason is one of the ballet teachers from the CGDA studio. Theresa dances like an angel and the children always want to hear her stories. That's why Theresa felt Janet's drawings would be the perfect match. Janet's daughter has danced this story since she was 3. It's time to share this classic tale with the world. Her book is a game and a magical place for children to go to in such a hectic world. Currently we are looking for a publisher to this book. "The Morning Fairies, a story to dance to."
