Nancy Tankersley » Professor Lynda L. Butler, William & Mary Law School

In the Year of the Woman, I was chosen to paint Professor Lynda S. Butler, first woman law professor at William & Mary College. We had a live sitting in February 2020 but after that the pandemic prevented us from meeting again and the portrait was completed by photos. I was disappointed as I really enjoyed my only meeting with Professor Butler. I tried to portray her intelligence and warmth and obvious skill as a teacher.
