This work is available to be shown.  


These portraits are done in black and white acrylic paint on 9" x 12" paper. The current number of portraits is 100 and will increase should the U.S. Department of Defense identify further American military female fatalities.  The present number of portraits require a minimum space of 65 square feet. This allows for 1" between each painting.  A site is preferred where the work can remain installed for the duration of the war in Iraq.  A small book with information on each soldier is planned to accompany the exhibition.

Contact the artist if interested.
