Portraits are my passion, and I hope you will see that in these paintings! I love the process of looking back and forth from photograph to painting to capture a person’s likeness and feelings. I have even tuned into unexpected understandings of a person when doing this process. It’s as if certain information is written on the face if one looks carefully enough. Certain people catch my interest–perhaps it’s the pattern of light and darks on their face, the emotion, or a connection–and I feel compelled to paint them. I also do portraits on commission.
