Erica’s Portrait

I got to know Erica a few years ago when I was volunteering at my church as a youth group leader. Indeed, she was a fun, inquisitive kid who showed up every Wednesday and was a great part of the group. Erica was always paying way more attention than I knew at the time.

I fell out of touch with that great group of kids when my allergies made it too difficult to help out anymore. Because of my severe reactions to environmental stuff, I became home-bound. Thankfully, after a few years of illness, I have found a way to get back into the world and started living again. In fact, Erica, who was still paying more attention than I realized, immediately asked me to do a portrait of her. So, here is my drawing of this beautiful young lady. I wish you all the best in future years to come, Erica!
