Marina,

I think Christy's word "unforgettable" sums up these drawings for me. As you know I had the great pleasure of seeing these in person at your workshop, Thank you for bringing them! The striking thing about seeing the original work is the texture. Even though these drawings seem highly rendered, they are actually quite sketchy and textured, with a variety of strokes. You really know what you are doing, and the thought that went into these really shows.

As always, you have brought the subject matter to a symbolic, or iconic, level, while staying very direct about your portrayal of the children. The subtlety and clarity of your vision is what has such an intense effect on the viewer.
