Tradecraft is a series of “portraits” of people I am familiar with because of their occupations. The Nurturers is the first set reflecting those who nurture the body or mind. Images originate from photographs I take at each site and then transfer to my computer. The “torso” is a photo collage mounted on a wood panel, and the legs are photographs of the individual.

These images are cartoons for the finished work. Each will be 9 x 6 x 7/8 inches. Materials includ acrylic, gel transfer, basswood, and wood panel.
