Faces of Trinity Living 2018

Reverse Drawing Portrait of George Mathews

I had the great honor of participating in Faces of Trinity Living in 2018. It is an annual portrait project sponsored by Waterworks in Salisbury, NC.

George Mathews was a former Marine and CMS Police Captain. It was a truly moving experience, George pass away shortly after I completed his portrait and before the exhibit opened. His portrait was presented to a family member at the opened. Below are the stages of his portrait.
