Portraits of Immigrants: New York Exhibition


Betsy Ashton will exhibit 16 of her life-size portrait paintings, alongside their inspiring stories, beginning January 22nd until February 15th, 2019 in Andrew Hall on the third floor of Saint Thomas Church Fifth Avenue.

Portraits of Immigrants: Unknown Faces, Untold Stories is the culmination of two years researching and creating a body of work by Ashton to find out who today's immigrants really are.
