Inspired by the diverse immigrant community of Port Chester, NY, I seek to capture portraits of the
invisible, yet noble moments of hardworking people to convey emotion and empathy in these fragile and all too splintered times. Working with oil paints, I used a layered, textured approach to portray subjects such as an elderly woman waiting to cross a street, a young girl on her cell phone during Covid and a woman collecting bottles and cans.
