Artist's Statement:
As an American I deeply regret that our country started this war in Iraq.
As a mother I feel great empathy for the families of the Americans
and Iraqis who have died or who have been injured in this war.
The process of drawing the portraits, for me,
is a way to pray that each one I do will be the last.
