This is  a series of what will be 20-40 paintings depicting a cross-section of Americans. The titles of the paintings designate the kind of health insurance coverage or lack of coverage the sitters have. The goal is to paint a picture of the American health care system in the faces of our country’s citizens from the very best health coverage to the most horrific of circumstances resulting from a person’s lack of coverage. Who are we when it comes to health care? Let’s not be afraid to look at real people and be touched by their experiences – from the best to the worst - as we navigate this very big issue. There is no agenda but to ask, “What’s your experience? What are your thoughts on the subject?”

Share your stories. Have an opinion? Let’s hear it.

The Immigrant

 

  The goal in this series of paintings is to create a focal point on which we could place our national discourse on the subject of illegal immigration (although the legal statuses of the models are unknown.) The artist did not choose the subjects’ expressions or clothes; rather, she painted what was presented to her. Participate in the disscussion.
