Portraiture is what I specialized in for many years until finally expanding my subject matter to include just about anything and everything as I think it is important to me as and artist to be versatile and it enables me to grow if I challenge myself with a variety of subject matter. This first four drawings is a collection of faces from the North West Territories where I lived for three years. The next two are portraits of two women dancers from the tribe, Oulad Nile dancers from Algeria.
These drawing are of Algerian women from a
tribe called, Oulad Nile. They were the original Beladi dancers ( belly
dancers). The coins they earned from dancing were sewn into their
clothing. The more coins they had the more popular the dancer. 24x26
inches, Graphite Pencil
