Heroines & Vixens: 2021 – Present


Heroines & Vixens

.

I began producing The Heroines &Vixens series in the Spring of 2021.  The portraits are inspired by women from different walks of life that exude strength, beauty, intelligence and heroism. Each person that I cast is asked to write a story about their life. It can be about the past, present or goals for the future as a prerequisite for engaging in the project. Each essay  is published on my web site along with pictures of each subject selected for the series. I’m casting women between the ages of 18 and 80 years of age and hope to complete the project by 2030 for exhibition and book publication. Please email  the studio if interested in participating in this project.
