"We can learn from history to rework our plans for tomorrow."

"A coloring book is such a great, hands-on way to educate children about history," said visual artist Liv Rothfuss.  Rothfuss is creating a coloring storybook with Spare A Dime imagery for COSACOSA's youngest constituents. "The lessons of the Great Depression are particularly relevant today as we experience the worst economy since the 1930s.  We need to realize the importance of looking out for others and of thinking ahead.  We can learn from history to rework our plans for tomorrow.  I'm excited to be a part of COSACOSA and its mission to engage Philadelphia communities through art.  Illustrating images for Spare a Dime allows me to use my creativity to inspire youth by showing them how to work together to improve the future. " 

Rothfuss is a Philadelphia based photographer and visual artist creating work that explores the human condition -- with all its philosophical and practical implications.  She works as a freelance photographer and illustrator, and also loves using fiber art in mixed mediums.  Her work in fabric has ranged from creating original tapestries that examine the psychology behind the story of Snow White, to designing marketable commercial textiles, to creating costumes for regional theater productions. Rothfuss has worked with youth in a variety of settings, including managed classes for Main Line Art Center and creating painted tiles with pediatric hospital patients for several of COSACOSA's large-scale mosaic projects at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.  Rothfuss graduated with honors from Arcadia University, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Studio Art with concentrations in both photography and illustration.  She has studied abroad at Accademia Italiana in Florence and at City University in London.
