memorial word portraits
Over the years I have created many memorial word portraits. These unique pieces tell the story of their lives, highlighting their values, hopes, and cherished memories. Each portrait is a collaborative effort, bringing together those who loved to celebrate their legacy and the impact they had on others. In the face of loss, these portraits become a beautiful testament to love and remembrance. Some of the work below are portraits of people that I knew and loved. Many are part of larger portrait series highlighting the tragedy and scale of gun violence and also covid. If you'd like to learn more about each series you can read the artist statements for each body of work here:
