Presidents and Celebrities

Rosemary Vasquez Tuthill, “Over history, there have been notable individuals who have made contributions which have influenced culture and affected society in areas including politics, science, music, art, technology, sports, social justice, and other areas with the common link – each individual in the series has supporters and detractors. Recognizing these individuals for what they achieved is important for consideration, but it is also important to embody the impacts these accomplishments had on their essence as reflected in each of their portraits. Thus, I created the Portraits of Influence series and selected some individuals that reflect the considerations - often expressed in the background of each individual’s portrait. I will add to this series; so from time to time check back and see who I added.”
