I want feminine power to permeate our city.

I have received an artist grant from New York State that enables me to offer free portrait commissions to eight Buffalonian 'clients'; the subjects will be women.

I will also create 40 t-shirts from the paintings so that the feminine power inhabiting the portraits can permeate our city.

Along with the hand-painted portrait, each 'client' will receive two free t-shirts. The remainder will be put up for sale to the public at an affordable price.
