I saw the work of this artist way back in 2019 at an exhibit at the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art. Shizu Saldamando was born and raised in the San Francisco Mission District but she now lives and works in Los Angeles. Her paintings are portraits of peers, friends and loved ones and honors the connections that happen throughout daily life. Clicking the link above will take you to a site showing more of the beautiful faces she has painted.
Ms. Saldamando's work can be found in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Crystal Bridges Museum, the Smithsonian American Museum of Art and the Cheech Marin Center for Chicano Art and Culture as well as many more museums and private collections.
I was truly impressed by her beautiful portraits.

The portrait really captures the feelings of the woman, that's for sure.
