Artists Look at People: The Portrait. Interest in faces begins when we are babies, for practical and obvious reasons, and continues throughout our lives. Most of us enjoy people watching and even sharing our personal photos with one another. Long before snapshots, Facebook, there were quick charcoal/pencil sketches and especially portrait paintings. We’ll take a look at how master artists from the past & present have created their images of both real & imagined people, as well as their own (self) portraits.

Meeting this urgent need is the mission of Michele Barrett and Diane Hallman, two mothers who have faced extraordinary challenges raising children whose unique gifts come with these diagnoses.
