I was inspired to paint Meghan, Duchess of Sussex after seeing one of Meghan’s posts celebrating International Women’s Day.
It was in the moment in the evening and I sketched in graphite and then permanent 0.1 ink pen. I flowed with my watercolor, like the way I enjoy dance . It felt so enlivening and I became immersed in Meghan’s spirit , deeper in my heart I felt something expanding within.
This is my first in a series as I release my own perfectionism and embrace the moment of connection and practice. Each time I draw, sketch and paint a portrait from photo reference or in person I tune into the unique beauty of each woman., every person has a reservoir of emotions and essence that speak to me. My portraiture is beyond observation it is a spiritual tuning as I capture loving light rays each time .

LBIF is where I enjoyed art and marine biology classes as a child, and exhibited my first artworks at summer art l festivals on the island. It is where my family instilled the love of the arts and preserving its history. .

I had the pleasure of creating a portrait of Camdyn the barista at Nuanced Café. I am inspired by the beauty and positive energy of Black women and women of color sharing their life stories . As a former barista at Nuanced Cafe, I enjoy sketching and honoring employees and coworkers through my gift of portraits. I was inspired by Camdyn’s beauty, warm heart and welcoming presence a moment when we connected and shared stories after I ordered a chai latte . Weeks later I returned and asked if I could create her portrait at the end of her shift . Together in conversation and painting we did it! Camdyn enjoys her love of dance and is attending Rutgers Camden nursing program . This is my gift of connecting learning and sharing through portraiture.

Inspired by the momentum and continuum of heartbeats. The energy of loving emotions . I gravitate to the immediacy of marker. The choice to play, experiment and enjoy the layers of color evolve and speak to me.
