Work > Heroes

April 2020 My daughter Shevaun, who’s a nurse at small community hospital, sent me a selfie when she and her coworkers finally got their face masks. I was both relieved and struck by the image of her with the protective gear, like a soldier going to battle. I just had to paint her portrait. I’m very proud of her - you really have to have special qualities to be a nurse and especially during a world pandemic.


After I finished Shevaun’s portrait and decided to paint some of her coworkers to honor them and show my gratitude for their service on the front. I painted 19 more of her coworkers and over the next year many more.
