As a mixed-media artist, Ms. Strong has created works with the intention of encouraging kindness, connection, compassion, and peace for our world. Most of her art includes a significant percentage of recycled materials in the form of magazine papers, re-purposed fibers, and found objects.

"An Alphabet for World Peace" poster was reproduced on high-quality paper from an original work she created after defining her idea of such an alphabet and the words she thought it should include. The words are made from letters individually cut from magazines. The red thread that winds throughout the piece is a symbol from Chinese mythology wherein an invisible red thread connects a newborn baby to all the people who will become significant in its life. As the child grows, the threads shorten in length to bring those people closer together (she discovered this story when she and her husband adopted their younger daughter, as a 10-month-old baby, from China in 1999).
