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

‘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.

Brian is a spiritual man, and he was inspired to start the project after reading a book by a Christian author about loving actions.
