I enrolled my daughter to participate in the Childhood Portraits: Our Children, Our Future event run by the The Connecticut Society of Portrait Artists, The Lockwood Mathews Mansion Museum and Stepping Stones Museum for Children. The whole experience has been amazing.
At first we didn't even make the cut since they only had 25 spots and were on a waiting list but then we got an email that my daughter was given a spot to participate. It started with a meet and greet event at Stepping Stones where we got to meet all the artists and check out their work. Then we got to hand in our three artist top picks to do our child's portrait. I was hoping we would get Shawnalee because since she too is a mom of three I could see how well she would be working with my daughter and I must say I was right. Gratefully we received notice that my daughter was chosen to be teamed
up with Shawnalee.
She came over a couple of times and really got to know my daughter. Her patience is amazing and talents really showed through in her work. The drafts came out great!! She really has been amazing to work with. Below is the details to the event and some "drafts"- they are so amazing I can't wait to see the finished product and see it in the art show.
