Drawing: kids & crisis- page 1

 

Portfolio Painting Drawing Photography Experimental 

 

"Life is more important than art; that's what makes art important."  -James Baldwin

 

     For a number of years I worked with children who were emotionally and socially disturbed.  Much of the "Kids & Crisis" pages are devoted to imagery inspired by that time.  As the pages progress into number 7 (at that point, I had left my job), there is a mix of imagery of my own child and events that I came across in the media.  For further information, please visit my information or drawing home pages.
