Historical Portraiture is BACK! Honestly I’m just gonna let Cas write this one bc they go so hard.

“We're doing somethin a lil special, bringing it back to the 18th century, and I'm so ecstatic that I finally get to show off this month's model, Thee Indisputable Cathryn Philippe @philly0405 !! 🌟❤️‍🔥

Now I would have tried to get her sooner but baby this woman is BOOKED & BUSY...She's squeezing us in between her many shows & rehearsals so you don't want to miss this one 🙂‍↔️🤭

Along with her being a friend/artist/educator i deeply admire and love, Cathryn has been interpreting and sharing the life of Poetical Genius Phillis Wheatley for years - the boston history scene knows how amazing she is and now you all will too.

THIS ONE IS A BIT DIFFERENT: We're still going to show and explain all the layers of clothing, but for this night we'll be delving into Wheatley's life, work, and her impact on Boston. We will have the chance to recreate the actual portrait/frontspiece of PW featured in her book, Poems on Various Subjects, Religious and Moral (🔥), and we are going to do a whole HOUR final pose - so bring your paint! bring your brushes! bring your patience! LETS DO THIS!”
