Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot. July 2022 In 2022, I created work for private commission, for publication, and for my amusement -- all my drawings helped me process and interpret the people, places, and news of the ongoing-pandemic year. I drew this portrait of then-Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot on an impulse to explore her face's renowned resting expression -- which I decided is less a scowl than a ever-readiness to charge with her head down.
