Blue building, Downtown L.A.
In the city, our daily lives are filled with man-made objects, straight lines, right angles, unnatural colors, and the juxtaposition of ideas and objects creating a grand mixture of images, colors and forms

This is an image from @elonschoenholz photo archive documenting the protest marches that have occurred since November 2016. She was photographed in the first protest march following the elections. The marks that form the drawing are the words of the Declaration of Sentiments from 1848, which is one of the first documents to claim equal rights for women. It marked the beginning of the women’s rights movement #protest #feminist #march #losangelesartist #laart #pen #panel #drawing #draw #ink

I met “Marcus” sleeping on the streets at Venice and West Ave. and I started thinking about homelessness and the feeling of being powerless. I knew I wanted to draw him and wanted to depict him as an equal in the eyes of our government. I choose to use the text from the Bill of Rights as my mark as it reaffirms the ideas of individual rights and equality that are the values upon which our nation was built. #laart #homeless #portrait #culvercityartsdistrict #pen #Drawing #draw #ink #art #artist #painter #penandink #sketch #line #lines #fineart #contemporaryart #artstudio #losangelesartist #losangeles
While searching the National Archive data base for a project I am working on I came across two more photographs taken by Dorothea Lange of my father as he was going into the internment camps for Japanese Americans during WWII. He was 17 and would later enlist in the army and served with the Military Intelligence in the Pacific theatre

This is a portrait of my grandfather drawn from a photograph taken by Dorthea Lange when she was commissioned to photograph Japanese Americans being interned during the start of the US entry into World War 2. The marks are the text from Executive Order no 9066 which established military areas excluding those of Japanese descent and establishing the internment camps.
I only met my grandfather in the hospital briefly as he died when I was very young. Drawing him was a way of getting to know him and imagining what he was thinking as he was led to an unknown future. Historical context is everything but hopefully by reaching back into history we might someday learn from our misplaced fear. Letting hatred go unchecked will only burn us alive. 60”x37” ink on panel
