I talk about some of the difficulties we’ve been having as outsiders in Richmond in this post. For more about value and our social networks, check out David Graeber’s Debt: The First 5000 Years or this article about social currency.
The friend represented in this double portrait is Gabe. You can see the two of us talking about other portraits I have painted of him.

Art is the love of other humans made tangible across space and time. When a person can’t get a hug from a friend, art is there to make them feel seen and understood. Please share my work with your favorite people!
Maybe this post made you think of something you want to tell me? Or perhaps you have a question about my art? I’d love to hear from you!
