My experience as a volunteer interfaith Lay Chaplain brings me close to the layered years in the eyes of those living in dependent care. The faces are abundant with character, wisdom, strength, courage, faith, and acceptance—marbled with moments of fear, loneliness, and confusion. Struck by the legacies of untold stories and the desire to be heard, I am moved to draw and paint portraits of the residents, some abstractly, some realistically, in various techniques and mediums. Expressed and interpreted through ink, paint, and pastel, I explore my relationship with each individual.
