The Homeless "Among You": What Lisa Lesniak's Compassionate Art Makes Visible
“In a community where surface appearance holds sway, I am drawn to you.”
I hope you will include your incredible Artist’s Statement on this beautiful website, Lisa. Thank you for your inspiring, beautiful portraits.
…Can’t wait for the exhibition! These postings are the first I’ve seen of so many of the works, and they are amazing. It’s appropriate that these portraits evoke so much admiration, humor, and hope. …The same feelings that I always experience in my dealings with these folks.
Well done, Lisa!
Ray,
I was moved by the story of your friend who passed away just one year ago and the way you lovingly organized and sized his clothes.
