Because none are alike, “Finger Prints” have always been a dominant and descriptive metaphor for all my work. Their total uniqueness says to me, “if no two finger prints are alike, why would one assume any thing else would be alike”?

Over a four year period I collected these prints from the most interesting and diverse woman I could meet. The criteria, use your right index finger and your favorite color. The intent is to show (as an example), if you are in the yellow family, none of you are alike, yet you are all yellow. All the finger prints are original and are from the actual individual.

The portraits were sketched in pen and ink directly from life. No poses. They have been collected from all over the world.

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I am an ISSUE-IST. Issue-ism is a pioneering movement in contemporary art. It is where creativity meets consciousness, born from the artist’s deep connection to the pulse of the modern world. It transcends traditional aesthetics to become a voice for the voiceless, illuminating the pressing social, political, and environmental challenges of our time. In this space, the artist is not bound by a singular technique or form, but by a purpose—to provoke thought, evoke empathy, and stir dialogue. Whether rendered in bold abstraction, delicate realism, or any form in between, the essence of issue-ism lies in its ability to hold a mirror to society, making visible the unseen and amplifying the unspoken. It is art as activism, beauty as a beacon for change, and vision as a vessel for truth.
