Charcoal sketch from a reference image by photographer #vivianmaier The idea burning in me, stoked by the cruelty of testosterone fueled bigotry and false patriotism running rampant in this country, is to make visible the marginalized in my own artwork.

The act of portrait drawing is a political one. It is the only way to bring the faces of the marginalized into view and a way of not falling into total dispair. Finding beauty in all faces and trying to capture a shared humanity is what’s driving my art practice. Reference image from @dylan_sara

Playing with some new things - sketched this face over my @nicker_colour pink in my @royaltalensna sketchbook. I slightly over tilted her head but that’s what happens before your first cup of coffee

Today was a crap day at work I didn’t have time to paint but wanted color so pulled out the oil pastels- don’t love her but doing art every day makes my heart feel less broken right now. Thanks to @dylan-sara for his inspiring Discord group. It gives me faith in people.

minute portrait sketch using a reference image of Frances McDormand taken by Annie Leibovitz. Both of these women are badasses and I needed some of that today with all the reality falling around us leaving me angry, nauseous and heartbroken. #pencilportrait #portraitsketching #prismacolerase

The angle on this was very difficult - it’s still not 💯 but maybe hand rendered art never is. This is from a reference photo of Maria Callas with gorgeous lighting that captured both dignity and a kind of sadness. #staedtlermars #talenssketchbook
