"In making a portrait, I attempt to reveal something of the psychological and emotional depth of the individual, but also something more archetypal, what it means to be human—to have a past, passions, and a spirit." –Martha Miller
 
In this class students will be guided in creating portraits that go beyond rendering and speak of the inner workings of each individual. They will create self-portraits as well as work from live models using an array of mixed media drawing media including pastels, charcoal, oils, and pencil.  
 
Martha Miller has been creating portraits and self-portraits for over thirty years. She has work in numerous collections including the California Palace of the Legion of Honor, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, CA. Miller has a BFA in printmaking from MECA. Some of her work can be seen on her website www.marthamiller.com.
