A third-generation Mexican-American artist hopes to show fellow Americans a more personal view of individuals in the migrant caravan making their way to the United States from Central America.

These are regular people, said Scarlett Baily , a Mexico City visual artist who talked to some of the 5,000 or so people in the caravan while they rested in Mexico recently. As she considered how to help, she said she decided to go draw portraits.

It was hilarious, delightful, and the joy and courage of this crew is truly contagious, Baily told HuffPost.
