Feb 2010 Northern Rivers Portrait Prize entry - Jenni Caffin

Jeni is one of my wife’s oldest friends. They caught up with each other in a Byron Bay coffee shop after a 40-year gap! I chose Jeni as a subject for the Northern Rivers Portrait Prize hoping to convey her “larger-than-life” colourful personality and with a respect for her contribution to the local community.
