FAMILY of FACES is a project I am currently making to exhibit on December 5th and 6th (in a few weeks!).
This project is a collection of 16 X 20" portrait drawings to be displayed all together--as in a grid pattern--celebrating our collective vitality, beauty and spirit. There's so much to be learned, enjoyed and admired in each of our faces. How exciting to see so many of them all together at once. We'll be able to recognize our similarities and differences not just in our physical structure, but energetically too. I'm thrilled at the response I've had so far--after putting out a call for sitters at a nominal fee to purchase their portrait, my calendar is filling up nicely each day before Thanksgiving. I love the energy it's bringing to my studio and hearing so many of our stories too. Thank you so very much to all my "family of faces" that have already had their portrait drawn and to all the others yet to arrive. I can't wait to draw you!
I'll post details of many of my "family of faces" here on my blog as I make them. Be sure to continue checking in for your "sneak peeks" before my show opening on Dec. 5 & 6.
