This is Rosa Ramirez. The reference photograph I used to depict her was printed in the Sunday, New York Times Magazine (7/14/19). The accompanying article was written by Teju Cole and the photograph was taken by Najeebah Al-Ghadban. Her son and granddaughter died trying to reach our southern border. It is pointed out starkly by the author that this image is but one of thousands of pictures printed every year, educating, eliciting emotion, rarely if ever effecting policy or change. "These photographs are mirrors, not windows." Teju Cole

Originally from New York, I am an artist living and working in Fairfax, Virginia. "They say that when an old person dies, a library goes with them" (1) I wish to paint those stories - as written on our bodies, line by beautiful line. Old age is a symbol of survival. The journey is long and hard. And messy. We bear scars that represent depth and strength and resilience. Can I capture a beauty that comes from within? Has the journey brought us closer to all that we love? Can I convey love, the thread that joins us all? "My heart was more disgraceful, more alone And more courageous than the world has known. O' passer-by my heart was like your own." Violet Trefusis (1) Wangechi Mutu, Kenyan artist I grew up in Queens, NY and the only thing I ever wanted to do was make art. Paint, pencil, stone, metal, clay, any medium fueled me. Many twists and turns caused me to run from what I loved, but I held onto sketchbook and pencil as though for dear life; through careers as a carpenter and an ordained a Reform rabbi. I am a self-taught artist living in Northern Virginia. I've educated myself over years with books, classes, mentors and 10,000 hours of work.
