Willa Jones Imagination Fund Recipient — Portrait Archive

Artist statement
I would love to create a platform of portraits- of artists and activists who inspire me- to share them and their stories. I know that through my skills as a storyteller, documentary producer, and researcher, and simply someone who is passionate about learning about people- their lives and their work- along with my unique painting and drawing style, I can bring these faces, and the lives, art, and ideas behind them, to life.
