EXHIBITION TEXT
I created a chalk pastel portrait of my sister Giselle from life, based off the chalk pastel portraits done by the impressionist Mary Cassatt. In particular, I based this off the piece Margot in Blue. I set aside a little bit under an hour to draw her from life and I worked to capture how I viewed her. This was a new medium for me but it helped me to better understand my techniques as an artist. This piece continues to investigate the beauty that an artist can put into a moment that may typically be considered mundane.
