Drawing is a skill that needs constant honing, these portraits were done in 2016. I have always admired academic drawings and good draftsmanship; however, I’m an intuitive artist and academic instruction is not for me.

I love visiting cemeteries! It's a great place for drawing beçause it's so quiet and peaceful, and the residents mostly leave you alone…mostly!
For All We Know I-090222, charcoal, wax crayon and oil pastel on blue toned paper, 14 x 11"
“For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like ripples on a stream
For all we know tomorrow may never come
For all we know”

What lies behind “America’s Favorite” frame? What untold stories lie behind bars and how are the ones we know framed by the media? Taking inspiration from Robert Mappletorphe’s portraits of objectified black bodies presented as objects of art, docile, subservient, available for white eyes’ consumption.
Framed 060220, watercolor, pen, collage and a cheaply made, found frame reversed, 7.5 x 10.5 in.
