"Innocence...I Want It Back!"

This graphite drawing was done as a result of my increasing discouragement at seeing so many provocatively dressed women on billboards, in magazines, on television, on computer, and having students I taught at the college level bring in imagery bordering on pornography as their references to use for artworks. I feel it is increasingly damaging to our individual and societal lives and want to encourage us to think about how we can individually make changes for a healthier society. This ORIGINAL graphite drawing is framed with a vintage ornamental, gray and gold frame, reinforcing the innocence of days gone by.
