Jefferson's Descendants

I have always loved Thomas Jefferson, and especially appreciate his artistic, architectural, and design talents. He was a true Renaissance man.

I have been searching for an African-American model, and I met a lady who agreed to model for me. I am fascinated by her skin tones and features, and she was the perfect challenge for me. She is a writer. I found her at the same time that I was reading The Hemingses of Monticello.

She has become the first descendant of Jefferson's in my series.
