July 2020 brought a surge of Covid cases to hospitals around the nation and in Houston, Texas it brought a host of new challenges to the cancer patient population. Hilary, a nurse manager at Houston’s Kelsey Bold center is my fourth Portraits for Covid Heroes portrait recipient. I want to honor her with this free portrait to bring awareness to the complexity and far reaching effects covid19 has on all health heroes around the world. Thanks to Tom Croft for his project bringing awareness and helping artists honor our healthcare workers in the UK. I started a project to encourage artists to honor healthcare worker on this side of the pond. The hashtag #portraitsforcovidheroes has more than 1000 portraits created and gifted to North American essential working heroes.
