Missing My Sister Time
Laura Chighizola
Drawing
5 H x 5 W
Artist Statement
This is a drawing done of my sister, Jen. She was a four-degree USAFA cadet (freshman) at the time while I was a senior in high school out-of-state. I missed Jen at the time and so I sketched this artwork from a photograph taken of her. If you look close enough, Jen somehow had switched shoulder boards with a firstie (senior cadet). Her hat in the photo looks like it is wanting to fall off, but the cap stays put. Her smile is also encouraging and overall, Jen shows resilience. This drawing motivated me to pursue the Academy as well.
