The Ideal Relationship Project is a Kickstarter aiming to create 100 portraits, and collect individuals’ ideas about what makes an ideal relationship, into a self published book. Click here for a portrait and to participate in our Kickstarter Project!
The following is a process note for Brittany Marie Montoya.
My inspiration for Brittany’s portrait was based on the photo she submitted. When I saw her image, I immediately perceived it as her aura, which would connote spiritual freedom. I chose a Mehndi mandala design, associated with transformation and transcendence. My aim was to depict a feminine image of serenity and balance.
Thank you for your participation, Brittany!

My ideal relationship is one with a lot of grace and forgiveness. I can be a very difficult and frustrating person to love most days.
