Mary Pal Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Some seem wistful and others are full of joy, yet each of Mary Pal’s portraits brims with life. The effect is similar to crosshatched drawings, but instead is produced using layers of cheesecloth to create portraits of amazing depth and emotion. Often portraying people who are overlooked and ignored – the elderly and the homeless – Pal has created a portrait gallery of faces that exude personality and wisdom.
