Each portrait I create is special to me. When I work with someone to create portraits, I feel an understanding and a connection to them. I am often reminded of Henry David Thoreau&#8217;s words, \u201cCould a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other&#8217;s eyes for an instant?\u201d My works in this exhibition are no different, but they are extra-special in ways that I had not expected when I created them. They became the start of two larger projects. Projects that were at times emotionally difficult for me and for everyone involved\u2026work with the elderly, with people who were dying, people who are scarred, and people are happy\u2026 A broad range of the human experience within groups of people.<br \/>\nThis is my portrait of former U.S. Poet Laureate, Donald Hall. This portrait ultimately inspired my year-long project called <a href=\"http:\/\/maundymitchell.com\/photography\/the-unseen\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">The Unseen &#8211; County Home Portraits<\/a>.
