SACRAMENTO, CA - Folsom artist Judy LewLoose is connecting with the homeless from Sacramento's former "Tent City" through thousands of dots. LewLoose uses a style of painting called pointillism.
"It's one dot at a time with layers on top of layers on the whole painting," said LewLoose.
It's methodical and takes a lot of time. But her hope is simple: to capture the homeless with dignity.
"The homeless people are very beautiful inside. Maybe they don't look like it on the outside, but they're human beings on the inside," said LewLoose.
The series is called "Dignity for the Homeless." LewLoose wanted to capture the different faces of the homeless to educate the public that they are human. She visited Sacramento's controversial Tent City last spring before it closed down.
LewLoose doesn't plan on selling her paintings. Instead, she hopes to continue showing them in various locations. "Dignity for the Homeless" is on display at the Sierra Health Foundation in Natomas thru the end of December.
LewLoose is now working on her next collection which is a series of paintings about homeless women and children.
