I am Always Here: Portraits of Homeless People
Ottawa, Canada
For the past few months I've been doing preliminary work on creating portraits of people who are experiencing homelessness. I am delighted to have my work included in the Writers Festival New Works. What you see are not finished portraits but early sketches.
From my own coming of age in Toronto, I have had personal encounters with people who are homeless, and count some as friends. More recently, I have spent time with folks experiencing homelessness in Ottawa. I feel honored to share their faces and something of their lives through this work.
