The Smithsonian’s National Portrait Gallery unveiled a portrait of Oprah Winfrey painted by Chicago artist Shawn Michael Warren to be part of the museum’s permanent collection, adding her likeness to a list of American historical figures.
 
“Of all the dreams that I had, I didn’t even know there was a national gallery,” she said at the unveiling event, referring to her childhood growing up in poverty, after seeing the portrait for the first time. “I am living and breathing God’s dream for me this day.”
