Michelle's Yoni Tree

This painting is dedicated to Michelle Hel-Loki Angelina, and her struggle as an incarcerated transgendered woman.  Over the many months of our correspondence, she has become a dear friend, and has opened my eyes to the cultural systems that led to her incarceration and the challenges to her rights as a human while in the American prison system.

50% of proceeds from the sale of this painting will be donated to a Non-Profit organization working towards justice for Transgendered people, currently I am thinking about The Transgender Law Center.  

Chris and Bailen

Our friend Chris was passing through this weekend, and was kind enough to let me paint her, so I took the opportunity to do my first in a series of portraits of felons.  Bailen (puppy) was moving around even more than Chris, so...it's not very finished. But I am hoping to get a few more chances, neither of them seemed to mind sitting for me too much  :)
