The Gift
Every portrait in this collection
begins with one question.
What gift has this person
given to the world?
For me…
Vermeer gave us…
Light.
Patience.
Quiet observation.
Questions for Reflection
Who has taught you to see differently?
Whose generosity has quietly shaped your life?
If you could thank one person with a portrait,
who would it be?
