Dear Natalie,
I spotted your illustrations on Creative Commons, which brought me to heartbabyhome.
I am working on a project to deliver free e-learning to healthcare practitioners about a number of heart muscle conditions.
We are a UK-based charity (www.cardiomyopathy.org). In the past we have primarily focused on providing support and advice to people affected by the condition, but in this new project we will be improving the understanding of healthcare professionals in order to speed up and make diagnosis more accurate.
I wondered if you were willing to allow your illustrations to be used and adapted in this project? I would cite you as the author of the work and provide a link to heartbabyhome in my work.
Kind regards,
Adrian
Adrian,
Yes, HeartBabyHome would love to be included in your project. I had a chance to visit your website and appreciate the support and education that you already offer. Your project sounds like a fantastic idea. Please feel free to use (and adapt) my images for your project. I appreciate the citation and link back to my website.
I’m currently rebuilding my website, but you can find/download many of my heart images on Flickr. https://www.flickr.com/photos/52834118@N03 (please host the images on your own site.)
I look forward to seeing your work. Please email me if you have further questions: HeartBabyHome@gmail.com
Thanks,
Nanette
