Homewood artist paints portrait of Aniah Blanchard to bring awareness of missing teen


Throughout her career, she’s painted all sorts of figures and creatures, but no painting has ever been as important as the one in her hand, the one of Aniah Blanchard, the 19-year-old Southern Union student who has been missing for over a week. This painting had a mission.

“I thought what can I do to make people look twice and look and see Aniah,” she said.

And they have. The painting of Blanchard, a Homewood native, was the final product of a time-lapse video she made showing the process start to finish with fastidious attention paid to every detail.
