Janice has worked for CHiPS fo 13 years and is one of the main reasons the soup kitchen is such a welcoming place. Her goal is to make the time that the guests spend at CHiPS be a safe respite from the challenges of the streets or shelters.

This piece is part of my upcoming exhibition – The Faces of CHiPs - What if God lived in Gowanus? – a series of studies and portraits of the people of CHiPs, a soup kitchen/residence that has served my neighborhood for 50 years. All proceeds from sales of paintings and prints will be donated to CHiPs to further their mission.

The Original is Framed. The Prints are Gorgeous.

The original is 17" x 14" and is sold framed in a 25" x 22" frame with matt.  The prints are beautiful accurate representations of the original, though slightly smaller (16" x 13"). I use Hahnemuhle German Etching paper and print right to the edges. The blacks are black, and the prints are virtually indistinguishable from the originals.
