2013 Portrait Project

I've been commissioned to draw a series of portraits of historically significant people. So far, I've drawn nine portraits. I've enjoyed doing research on each of these people and finding out how they contributed to society. Some of them, like Frederick Douglass and Harriet Tubman, I had already heard of and learned about in school. Others, like Phillis Wheatley and Lois Mailou Jones were new to me. It's great to have a job that is fun AND educational! Check out the Drawings Page to see all nine portraits.
