Party Dress

Party Dress

ABOUT: Most of my art is focused on the naked body, however, I will ask a model to bring interesting clothing items to a session. This dress is a delight, and the boots make it even more appealing to draw.

Wig

Wig

ABOUT: A seemingly simple pose, yet it communicates different things. She’s both closed in posture, yet receptive in her expression. My model is undergoing chemotherapy for breast cancer. We’re doing a series of sessions that track her experiences. She’s wearing a wig because she is now bald. She doesn’t hid her baldness; the wig just gives her another form of expression.
