My Experience:
By making this gesture of painting Joel’s portrait I am sending love out into a world which desperately needs it and of course to the family of Joel Rayon Paniagua who experienced this horrific trauma and loss. I hope I was able to capture some essence of his personality and that this portrait capturing him at a particular moment in his life will give Joel’s family something to remember him by.
