I met Monique a few years ago. There was something special about her and I wanted to capture it in my work. I asked if she'd pose for me, which she did. I did several sketches of her and created this final drawing in graphite from a photo which she'd lent me. Soon after our session, Monique's career took off and she didn't have time to pose again. But this remains one of my favorite pieces. When facing challenges in my career, I find inspiration in contemplating this portrait of a person who found success in following her dream.
