Artist Power, 2021, Pastel pencil on paper

My muse in this drawing, Ananeic, is an artist herself. She’s a model and makeup artist and owns a business in Leimert Park. She is the epitome of a Los Angeles native and even though she has traveled the world as a model, LA is home.

Heal, 2021, Pastel pencil on paper

Heal was created during quarantine and is about the importance of self-care during stressful times. My muse in this drawing is my friend Lynn. She’s a gifted psychic and although she doesn’t live in Los Angeles anymore, she brings a piece of LA to wherever she goes.
