Studies of Cora Rice Students

There are around 700 students growing up at Cora L. Rice Elementary School in Landover, Maryland.  Every day they go to school, a couple of blocks down from FedEx field, and navigate their way through an educational and social system of  rules and regulations,  learning more at the end of the day than they think they have--and always in uniform.
Some days are tougher than others.  Some days are wonderful. And some days the cafeteria serves pizza.
These paintings are of Cora Rice’s students being just who they are.  It’s as if they are completely at home.
