Phoebe Legere: SKETCHBOOK FROM YADDO

I met brilliant artists during my residency at @Yaddotoday. This is Mark King. We are both Participatory Artists. This means that we welcome the community into our art practice. I painted Mark putting on a coat he designed. He was very kind to me, Mark King is a Special Assistant to the President of Yaddo.



This is my portrait of Madhu Kaza. She directs the Bard Microcollege at Brooklyn Public Library. & teaches in the MFA program at Columbia. Madhu explores the connection between migration and translation, immigration and linguistic mobility. I painted her as a Maharaja of the Mind, a turban crowning her excellent cranium #Yaddo#strongbrilliant #feminist#intellectualconversations

This is my drawing of a fellow artist - Masha Sha. She is a super sensitive, true artist with astonishing instincts. I drew her in her studio at Yaddo. She lives in Berlin. She is Russian. #drawingsofinstagram#artistsoninstagram  #yaddo
