The personalizing power of portraiture.
As an eighteen year old travelling in Europe, Rachael Romero made her living by painting ink portraits and found it to be a way to communicate beyond language. 1980-1985 she painted youth and street people on the late-night-summer-sidewalks of Greenwich Village, New York City . Some of these portraits of veterans were included in the traveling exhibit A Different War: Vietnam in Art, 1989-91, curated by Lucy Lippard.
