White Shirt
DESCRIPTION: A bright white shirt is classic, and so deserves a more classical approach to the drawing and composition. I wanted to keep it very simple, clean, and refined.
MEDIUM: Pencil on paper
SIZE: 11″ H x 5.5″ W (unframed)
Hat and Dress
DESCRIPTION: This such a sassy pose. The hat and dress work perfectly together, too. There’s something both formal and cheeky about all the elements that make up this image.
MEDIUM: Pencil on paper
SIZE: 10″ H x 6″ W (unframed)
Non-binary Twins
ABOUT: This picture was very much the result of a discussion with my model about her gender identity. I had planned on doing a double portrait, where there is a sense of movement, transition, or more than one aspect of a personality. Immediately after she left from the session, I began work on this painting and decided to add the rainbow colors. It aligns so well with how she feels about herself, and her place in the world. It’s a happy picture!
