A Gentle Whisper
an Animation by Lily Raven Leon
This rotoscope animation is a lullaby reminding us of our own worth and place in others lives.
The video here is an original choreography by my sister and very best friend, the talented Scarlett Madison Leon. She choreographed this number in honor of my animation and I animated her! |

Portraits
One of my favorite subjects to teach my kids is how to capture people. I teach them especially how to draw eyes. I spend significant time on this project because the eyes are the window to the soul. I desire that my kids be able to capture the interplay of the light in someone’s eyes with shading or colors or whatever medium they choose. I teach them to try to record that which is invaluable. I try to teach them how to capture someone’s essence.
I believe the highest beauty I can achieve is understanding people and truly seeing them. Art is my way of loving people more intimately by creating in my art an attention to and love for the previously invisible details of them. Because there are no ordinary people. |
"To make people free is the aim of art,
therefore art is the science of freedom.
