Women Reading

I'm working on a new art project I call "Women Reading"

Throughout the history of art, women have been portrayed for their bodies. I want to change that. I want to paint women's minds. 

I went on Craigslist and posted an ad asking women if I can meet them, take a photo of them reading then paint them, a lot of women responded, and I'm steadily completing a painting every week.

I've set up a Go Fund Me account, for parties who are interested in funding my project:

My third model was Hannah and her son Trevor: 

My fourth model was Amber:

Art As A Way of Becoming

 

I had the pleasure of participating in Dr. Joshua Wilt's research on the meaning of art, how we see art, and how art changes us.
