These are drawings done recently of people affected by the May 12, 2008 I.C.E. raid in Postville, IA. Through their lives and such artifacts these very real people leave a footprint of their time contributing to the life of the city of Postville and the state of Iowa.

I attempt to catch the specific character of each person at this difficult moment in their lives.

A series of painted portraits is underway.
