Linda's Portrait

From a vision to a community project. This was an amazing Journey/Experience that some of the luckiest community artist got to share and experience on Sunday July 31st 2016. As a give back to the community and part of my project photographing community artists and creating their environmental portrait, i had to photograph This no ordinary artist that was born without arms and paints with her feet, in the process of getting to know more about her, Linda Riveros​ seems to everyone physically with no arms but to me the more i got to know about her, her dedication, drive, strength, joy love and positive energy that she spreads around her, the more she seems to have bigger heart and more arms than anyone i ever known. I was inspired by the godess Ganesha who seems to be the godess of art culture and wisdom, so i managed to put community artists together to paint my vision of her portrait reflecting her soul. Every artist was emotionally involved in this project because they all have a sense of community and all believe that if we stand together there is no limit to what we can achieve. So i made it a mission of mine to create projects that involve different artists from different genre so we can connect and make the community a better place to live in for us and for the generations to come.
