This is a portrait of my great-niece at 12 years old completed in 2020 as part of a series titled "Endangered Species" which uses a new sanded charcoal technique. The series speaks to the loss of beauty and the corruption of innocence in both youth and our environment. I was struck by the intensity found in this image, her face feels as though there is a much greater story left untold.
