“We are a group of five portrait artists who have been working together for the past several years. We sit together with our subjects, and then complete the works on our own, using photographs taken during the shared session. The subjects are people in the local community. Each portrait shines as a unique yet integral part of this place we call home. It has been a fascinating endeavor to see each community member portrayed from a different vantage point, and in a totally different style and medium.”

To begin each piece, the artists asked people they knew to sit for them, as well as some people they didn’t know. Community members were incredibly open and generous with their time, and the artists learned a lot about the talent and diversity all around us. Photos were taken during these sessions to keep working from to complete the pieces. Some of these portraits took months to complete.

Three years later, the result is Portrait of a Community.

5 artists, 40 subjects, 129 portraits.

Participating Artists: Cynthia Root (watercolor & acrylic), June Levenson (oil paint), Shaun O’Connell (prismacolor colored pencil), Naomi Bradshaw (charcoal & pencil), and Kaitlyn Jubert (graphite).

This exhibition will be on display until Saturday, Oct. 24th.
