Meet The Artist Who Paints And Sells Portraits Of Homeless People, Giving Them The Profits

facesBrian Peterson’s ‘Faces of Santa Ana’ is an inspirational way to give back to society.

‘Faces of Santa Ana’ is a continuous exhibition of portraits of homeless people, founded by Californian artist Brian Peterson. Brian talks to members of Santa Ana’s homeless community, collects their stories and paints their portraits. After getting a signature from them in the corner of the canvas, Brian then sells the artwork downtown. All the proceeds go to help each subject back on the road to rehabilitation. MORE
