Portrait of Shivonne McKay - CHiPS Executive Director Watercolor like it had just settled

like it had just settled into place

Cyanotype print using pressed wildflowers and homemade negatives (framed)

This mixed media painting was inspired by my thoughts from my inner child

I love the differences in heights and stances that we see when the whole company lines up

and she is somehow able to move in a way that just doesn't seem possible

Portrait of Shivonne McKay - CHiPS Executive Director Watercolor like it had just settledShivonne McKay is the Executive Director of CHiPS. She's the reason that they treat everyone of their constituents with respect and allow them to keep their dignity. This piece is part of my upcoming exhibition The Faces of CHiPs What if God lived in Gowanus? a series of studies and portraits of the people of CHiPs, a soup kitchen residence that has served my neighborhood for 50 years. All proceeds from sales of paintings and prints will be donated to
