Jeanette Martone has merged her talent with her passion by creating imagery depicting the people and places she has gotten to know while volunteering on humanitarian projects in the developing world. The people of the Dominican Republic captured her heart during her volunteer stints there, and they are the subjects of Martone’s intricate graphite drawings. Her illustrations help shine a light on life (and death) in a very poor part of the world. “Awareness of the common linkage found in our humanity, the fragility of our cultures, and the vulnerability of those living the barest existence, teetering on the edge of life, inspires the foundation of my work.”
