Khalilah

Khalilah was the most amazing model and I only got to draw her once. Sigh. Since she was modeling for my class that day (in San Francisco at the Academy of Art University) and I was busy teaching, I only got to draw her, literally, once.

Diana




Diana was from Berkeley and sang in a group called "Odor of Pears." She was a great model.

Receiving a Blessing/ Expressing Gratitude


I always felt like the dancing I did in "Sweat Your Prayers" was a contemplative movement showing gratitude for life. This drawing was inspired by that feeling.

Sweat Your Prayers






Gabrielle Roth has created a practice of dancing that incorporates what she calls the "five rhythms" in the universe. These drawings are from observing people at the weekly dance sessions I attended (and danced at for several years) in Sausalito, California. I was blessed to have taken a workshop directly from Gabrielle. http://www.gabrielleroth.com/

Anjali Dancing




Anjali danced in a most beautiful way, prayerful, like she was saying "Namaste" to the universe. I tried to capture the spirit of her flowing movements in quick brush lines, the line of her pregnant belly allowed a beautiful swoop of the brush.
