Local Artist Creates "90 Days of Heroes" Portraits

(Des Moines, Iowa) -- A Des Moines Artist is getting close to completing her New Year's Resolution - drawing one portrait of an Iowan wearing their favorite mask, every day for 90 days.

Julie Houghton posted to Facebook asking followers to send in a selfie wearing their favorite mask, and the response was overwhelming. Houghton selects a selfie, then traces, colors and shades the drawing. She says she hopes to display all of the portraits at a local art gallery when the pandemic is over.

Houghton will complete her "90 Days of Heroes" project at the end of this month.

You can see Houghton's work and submit your own selfie for a portrait here.
