This is a portrait of an assistant psychology professor I knew in college who acted as a defacto spiritual guide for a time in my life. Before completing my course work with her I had the oppertunity to show her my artistic impression. She liked it.

This was my first attempt to capture her aspect which opened the way for a second portrait titled, In the Spirit of Inspiration [link] .
