Coffee Makers ( A coffee art project)

How often do we think about the work that goes into a cup of coffee?

Coffee Makers is a portrait series that celebrates the coffee bean and the people that make/grow/brew this amazing cuppa that greets us every morning.

Each of these drawing(largely pencil sketched) will feature a coffee related symbol/image from a country known for its coffee. What is unique is that the artwork will also incorporate the actual coffee(ground/whole bean/ brewed). We are not only celebrating the coffee culture of different cultures, but the bean itself. For once, the bean does not end up in our bodies, but is celebrated on a piece of canvas.
