ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — A St. Petersburg artist is painting portraits of COVID-19 victims in a project called Faces Not Numbers.

Margaret Bayalis says it’s a way for her to honor them as people, rather than statistics.

She is accepting photos from families all around the world and gifts them the paintings, free of charge.

To hear from Bayalis and see her in action, watch the video above.

To order a painting from her, you can email her at Margaret@bayalistudio.com, or find her on her facebook page, Faces Not Numbers.​
