Description:

These illustrations of Joan Baez were part of a 10th grade American History project. My love of Bob Dylan led me to Joan Baez, who loved him and who wrote the song Diamonds and Rust about him. I attempted to capture Baez over time from an innocent child to an intense, beautiful twenty-something to an older woman. Using watercolor and pen, I aimed to capture her vivid, powerful presence and influence on the folk music scene.
