ME// I’ve painted many portraits of women... Joan Toni Maya Lynn Monica Melanie Tasha Kelly Kiera Chardonnay Dionne Mary Jane Helen Neicy Kara Lisa Cee Cee Nuri Angela Ruby Rose Carol Cleaning the brushes, sharpening the pencils, inking the pens... there are so many more stories to be told, including my own. My portrait is one I will not keep putting off, promising to finish later. The time is now to access all of who I am and be seen. This image reflects a beautiful collaboration with artists and storytellers in their own right. Their talent and dedication to their gift was such a blessing for me. I absolutely love my new photos and I’m so, so grateful to see myself and recognize who I am... and who I am yet to become.
