2024 Kennedy Prize Catalogue

125 | Alana | Sara Azevedo | $650 | Oil on linen. I use underpainting technique to build up structure and tone.

I never thought I could paint a portrait. Felt I could never be confident with a brush. The thoughts always running through my mind.
Thankfully my daughter as young as she is encouraged me to pick up my brush and paint her. To me that is beauty. Her gentle kindness and care. Now I continue to paint and create because of Alana.
