I just returned from an amazing trip to Central Europe, to do some research on my families history.
While I was there, I did a few caricatures, just informaly, at bars etc. I found that this was a wonderful way for me break the cross cultural ice, and make a human contact at a different level than would have otherwise been possible for me. Indeed, the time spent and attention invested between portrait artist and a 'subject' creates a very special space of intimacy. Perhaps some day I will share some wonderful stories of my mother and mentor, Edie Cohn, and the amazing repository she her and her subjects alike have been suprised to find in this sanctioned space.
For the mean while, please enjoy these few portraits, which for me were a wonderful chance to study up close and personal, the facial features that showcase a kindered gene pool.
