"Buffalo Remembrance Portraits"

When I learned of the mass shooting in Buffalo, New York -
a targeted act of racially motivated hatred - my heart broke.

In the midst of  grief I read about each person's life,
which prompted me to create these small portraits. 

Portrait painting is not one of my primary 
genres, but I put aside my hesitancy 
and followed my heart.

I share these paintings in their memory.
