"I draw families with crayons, colored pencils, and enormous amounts of love. My drawings become heirlooms as my subjects are immortalized...Art does that.

      I draw entire families but rarely on one sheet of paper. I prefer creating a series that are framed individually but hung as a group. That way, when the children are grown they each have their own original portrait."

 

 
 CAMERON IN CARMEN'S HANDS

"This is a drawing on canvas with oil pastels.  This little girl happens to be the
precious grand-daughter of my dear friend, Dr. Carmen Meir."

 

 
SIERRA HOPE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY

"I create my family drawings today with crayons and colored pencils, without ink, so the drawings will never fade. I photograph my subjects so they do not have to sit for hours, and I finish the piece with my subject in person."

"This drawing was printed on Evan's Bar Mitzvah invitations."

"Dr. Grossman and his son Andy in the good old days."

"This is a drawing of my father in the Santa Fe Plaza near my parent's home."

 
"These four drawings are all pen and ink. I created them years ago before I realized that no matter how permanent ink is, it still fades slightly and has to be kept from any window light. That is why I draw with crayons and colored pencils today. Even though these drawings are a bit lighter than when I drew them, they are very dear family heirlooms in the homes of the children pictured here."

Sara Eyestone's original crayon and colored pencil portrait drawings, like the drawing above titled SIERRA HOPE'S FIRST BIRTHDAY, are $1000 per person.
