After the bleakness of 2020, I desperately needed a way to feel positive about the future and humanity in general. I started painting portraits of people who inspired me and made it into a personal challenge, to do 100 daily portraits of people who have done or are doing inspiring things.
The people I chose were personal to me, and I know not everyone will agree with them. Also, many of them are flawed people, but that's kind of the point: you don't have to fit an ideal character of a human being to try to better the world.
I learned so much about so many incredible people during this project, people all over the world, current, and past. I hope that it brings a bit of inspiration to others as well.
Here's a sample of work from that project. You can see the full 100 portraits along with brief bios of who the people are and what makes them inspiring at the link.
