Portraits
As part of the process, I ask them questions like: What motivates you? What is your biggest fear? What are you proud of?
I translate those stories into a drawing that expresses their character traits through animal symbols, insects, and natural elements. I then, send the portrait as a surprise gift.
It is through their stories that I discover all I can create.
