Artist Statement:
Painting portraits is my
passion. I started drawing
when I was six years old and
ever since making pictures has
been at the core of my
existence. It's always
thrilling to experience the
moment a painting takes a life
of its own. One instant there
is an amalgamation of marks on
a surface and with the
addition of a single stroke it
is transformed.
I consider each portrait I
paint as an opportunity to
create a work of art that
exhibits both beauty and
timelessness. It's satisfying
to know that my painting could
one day become a cherished
heirloom and provide pleasure
for many years to come. I feel
I've been blessed with a
talent that can bring joy into
the lives of others. I want to
meld the physical and
spiritual characteristics of
each person I paint into the
most telling portrait
possible. Conveying the
essence of my sitter is
paramount.
Many of the greatest
masterpieces of Western Art
have been commissioned
portrait paintings. My
inspiration is drawn from the
art of the great academic
masters, such as Rembrandt,
Van Dyke, Sir Henry Raeburn,
Ingres, J. L. David, Wm. M.
Paxton and most importantly
William Adolphe ...
